TEHRAN (Iran News) – When on April 1, 1979, Iranian nations turned out in a referendum to decide their future political establishment of the country, overwhelming majority, over 98 percent, voted for the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran and they now reap the fruits of that wise decision as the country has turned into a biggest regional power and one of the major international actors in the political decisions.
Since then, Iranians mark the Islamic Republic Day on the twelfth day of the first Persian month of Farvardin (April 1).
In February 1979, Islamic Republic’s founder, the late Imam Khomeini returned to Iran after 15 years in exile and led the campaign to overthrow the Shah of Iran. Two months later, the new government held a referendum on establishing the Islamic Republic based on a new constitution, replacing the Persian monarchy for 2,500 years. On Farvardin 12, the result of the referendum was announced, with 98.2% of the Iranian people voting in favor of an Islamic Republic.
Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, introduced the morning of April 1 as the first day of God’s rule and said: “April 1, which is the first day of God’s rule, is one of the greatest religious and national holidays and the Iranian nation should celebrate this day. The day when the palace of 2,500 years of tyrannical rule collapsed and the evil domination disappeared forever, and the government of the oppressed replaced it.”
Now almost 43 years after that historic moment, the Islamic Revolution moves strongly ahead by achieving successes one after the other in different fields and it is turning to be the last hope of the freedom and independence-seeking nations for justice and fighting the world arrogance.
If we have a short glance at the achievements of the Islamic Revolution since 1979, we can write volumes of books and this is what has made the world arrogant try to topple this establishment or make it a puppet regime and unfortunately they have failed to achieve their goal because of prudent leadership of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and brave Iranian nation who have thwarted any plot.
One can enumerate successes of the Islamic Revolution in any field from military to scientific realms. Regardless of Iran’s amazing achievements in the military sector which has made the country strong enough to repel any bully from enemies, the country has achieved many progresses in the Nano and scientific fields and now the country has turned into a health tourism hub in the region and many people from other countries come for medical treatment to Iran.
Of course like any revolution in the history, the Islamic Republic of Iran has faced ups and downs and it has survived all of the plots and hardships and it has marched ahead with strong determination to materialize its main goal which is promotion of Islam and justice in the country, region and the world.
As usual, the world arrogant countries try to spread disappointment among Iranians and unfortunately some officials in the country either intentionally or unintentionally help them. Fortunately with the current revolutionary government people expect better future and they hope to mark the next Islamic Revolution Day in better economic condition that the current government has promised it.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran is now the source of hope for the oppressed and freedom-seeking people in the world and this is what the founder of the Islamic Revolution the late Imam Khomeini wanted and his dream is gradually coming true and the countdown has begun. The good economic condition in the country will also strengthen the unity of the nation against any mischief of the enemies who are trying to bring down the establishment via this channel and spreading disappointment and dissatisfaction.
