Iranian People Mark Day of Fight against Global Arrogance
TEHRAN (basirat) :Thousands of Iranian people have started rallies in different parts of the country to mark the “National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance”, chanting slogans against the US and other hegemonic powers.
Iranian people, mostly school and university students, staged demonstrations on
Saturday morning all over the country to express their opposition to the
arrogant policies and attitudes of the enemies, particularly the US.
The demonstrations are held on the anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy
in Tehran, which was later known as the ‘den of espionage’.
On November 4, 1979, and in less than a year after the victory of the Islamic
Revolution that toppled a US-backed monarchy, Iranian university students who
called themselves "students following the line of (the late) Imam (Khomeini)”
seized the US embassy, which had become a centre of espionage and planning to
overthrow the newly established Islamic system in Iran.
The students who seized the embassy later published documents proving that the
compound was indeed engaged in plans and measures to overthrow the Islamic
republic.
Every year on the 13th day of the Iranian month of Aban (which this year falls
on November 4), the Iranian nation, particularly the students, hold rallies
across the country to mark the day.
In the capital city of Tehran, the rallies to mark the anniversary of the
landmark move are held at the venue of the former US embassy.
