Iranians hold rallies, marking Islamic Revolution anniversaryTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - People from all walks of life rally in different cities and towns across Iran celebrate victory every year. The event brought an end to the monarchical rule of the US-backed Pahlavi regime.

Each year on the 22nd of the month of Bahman on the Persian calendar, Iranians turn out to renew their allegiance to the Islamic establishment and Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic.

This year’s rallies come amid US President Donald Trump's hostile policies on Iran, ranging from his warning that he might ultimately “terminate” the 2015 nuclear deal to his meddlesome stance on some scattered riots in Iran recently.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is going to deliver speech in the ceremony.

The participants would issue a statement at the end of the rally.
