Islamic Revolution remains glory to Iran

The ten-day celebration of the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution began in Iran on February 1. 

This month thousands of Iranians mark the historical day when the Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime, 34 years ago, ending 2,500 years of monarchy. The 1979 Islamic Revolution, resulting from about a century of the nation’s struggle for freedom and independence, overthrew an increasingly repressive, brutal, corrupt and extravagant monarchy in Iran and replaced it with an Islamic government, with Iran officially becoming an Islamic Republic on April 1, 1979 after receiving a 99.8 per cent support in a referendum.
