TEHRAN – President Ebrahim Raisi lauded demonstrations held across Iran in celebration of the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution’s victory, saying they were a testimony to national unity and conveyed a meaningful message to the enemies.
Addressing a cabinet session, Raisi praised the Iranian people for their enthusiastic support for the Islamic Republic in the nationwide demonstrations that were held on February 11 in celebration of the 44th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
“The magnificent participation of people in the 22 Bahman demonstrations indicated the nation’s attachment to and solidarity with the Islamic establishment and the Revolution’s aspirations, which stymied the enemies’ plots and seditions,” he said.
The president said the presence of people from all walks of life in the countrywide demonstrations proved Iran’s national unity and integrity to the enemies and once again illustrated that Iranians support the Islamic Revolution, the establishment and the Islamic jurisprudence.
“The enemies also got the message from the epical and meaningful presence of people (in the demonstrations),” Raisi said.
Millions of Iranians took to the streets in over 1,400 cities and 3,800 villages across the country on Saturday to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
The Iranian nation toppled the U.S.-backed Pahlavi regime on February 11, 1979, ending 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.
