Today is a Red-Letter Day in the history of the Islamic Republic. It is November 4 or Abaan13 of the Iranian month on which three crucial events occurred in the contemporary history of the Iran.
It is the day that shattered the idol of arrogance, that is the US, and with the capture of the Den of Spies by revolutionary students, it rubbed Washington’s nose in the dust. 
Iranians and dedicated Muslims all over the world will forever commemorate this day with jubilation for the fall of the Great Satan. It was a masterstroke of revolutionary strategy to ensure the stability of the newfound Islamic Republic, and has continued to be the source of strength for the Iranian people – heroically defending the homeland today in the 8th month of the war imposed by the US and the illegal Zionist entity. 
Iranians of all strata of society have firm in God and are fully confident that the US will again be defeated these days, with the terrorist Donald Trump humiliated in the most abject manner for his crimes against civilization  
The Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA), had hailed the heroic takeover of the US embassy in Tehran in 1979 by Muslim students as the “Second Revolution”. 
Our recently martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei (RA), had also hailed the significance of the historic Fourth of November, and strove throughout his life for the victory of Iran over the US.
His son and successor, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, who as a ten-year revolutionary lad forty-seven years ago witnessed the memorable capture of the US Den of Spies, rightly believes that the so-called American embassy was not functioning as a diplomatic centre and it was the right decision to capture it.
The US embassy in Tehran, long detested by Iranians for its highly suspicious and undiplomatic activities turned out to be espionage den. The seized gadgets and documents revealed startling facts. The Americans, in league with certain treasonous elements in Iran were plotting to overthrow the Islamic Republic system.
 The shredded documents, painstakingly restored by the dedicated students, showed that the US mission in Tehran was the headquarters of a vast network of espionage spread in the region for spying upon regional states, and especially the Soviet Union.
This was a great blow to Washington and its satanic goals. This explains the avowed hostility of Uncle Sam towards the Iranian, people, climaxing in the current war imposed upon the Islamic Republic, against whom none of the US plots succeeded.
The US is a perpetual loser, beginning with the 8-year war launched by Saddam of Iraq’s repressive Ba’th minority regime to the current conflict, where the Americans are losing on all fronts.
Aban 13 or “The Day of National Campaign against Global Arrogance,” is a day of triumph for the aspirations of the Late Imam Khomeini, who on this day in 1964 was exiled to Turkey on US orders – a measure that ultimately boomeranged on the Pahlavi regime. That is the reason Iran and the Iranians cannot afford to given up the slogan of “Death to the US.”
Meanwhile, in 1978 on this fateful day of Aban 13, when it was clear to all that it was only a matter of time for the Pahlavi regime to be swept into oblivion, the US stooge at the behest of his overlords in Washington ordered the massacre of students at Tehran University. 
Their only fault was to stage a peaceful rally calling for the return home from exile of their beloved leader, Imam Khomeini. The bloody event backfired so badly on US designs that two months later the hated Shah was forced to flee Iran, and on February 1, the Imam returned to lead the Islamic Revolution to its resounding triumph.
Today the eyes of the whole world are on Iran. Thousands of students and people from all other strata of society are rallying on the streets with vociferous chants of God’s Greatness (Allah-o Akbar) and death to the US and the illegitimate Zionist entity, Israel, which ought not to exist on the map of the region.
We are on the threshold of a Great Victory. It will indeed soon materialize with the defeat of the devilish US-Israeli duo and the humiliating end of the terrorist Donald Trump and his comrade-in-crimes against humanity, Benjamin Netanyahu.
