Iran Celebrates 45th Anniversary of Ending US Terrorism! (4.11.2024)

At the end of the rally, the demonstrators issued a statement vowing allegiance to Iran’s supreme leader and condemning Israel’s “crimes” in Gaza and Lebanon, “which are being perpetrated with the direct participation and support of the United States.”

They also called on the international community to work towards the achievement of ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon.

A few months after the victory of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in February 1979, Iranian university students took over the U.S. embassy building, saying that the embassy was, based on the documents found in it, planning to overthrow the Islamic Republic and serving as an espionage base for the U.S. government. Iran commemorates the takeover every year by holding nationwide rallies.

Iran: “Some Individuals” Arrested for Recent Terrorist Attacks! (5.1.2024)

Raisi vowed a forceful response, asserting that Iran’s armed forces “have the initiative” and will choose the “timing and place” to avenge the attack.

“The enemy has, on numerous occasions, seen and experienced Iran’s power,” Raisi stated, noting “concerning the recent events, I also give the assurance that the enemy will always see Iran’s power.”

Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Hossein Salami also emphasized that Iran would “take revenge for the terrorist attack.”

The bomb attacks on Wednesday marked one of the deadliest incidents in Iran in decades. Two explosions occurred near the Qassem Soleimani cemetery, where thousands of Iranians had gathered to honor the late general, who was assassinated in a U.S. drone attack on January 3, 2020.
