TEHRAN (Iran News) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has received a large number of students this morning on the eve of 1979 US embassy takeover in Tehran.
Ayatollah Khamenei addressed thousands of students on Sunday morning, a day before the 40th anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, which is marked every year with nationwide rallies.
The details of the meeting will be published later.
On November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian university students took over the US embassy in Tehran, which they believed had turned into a center of espionage aimed at overthrowing the Islamic Republic.
The day, which falls on the 13th day of the Iranian calendar month of Aban, is also known as the Student Day and the National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance.
Each year, Iranians rally outside the former US embassy building, also known as the “Den of Espionage,” to mark the anniversary of US embassy takeover and express their opposition to the arrogant policies and attitudes of the enemies, particularly the US. Similar demonstrations are being held in other cities and towns across the country, as well.
“America’s animosity with Iran is fundamental and strategic, not tactical; so it is not important for them who is ruling Iran, rather, they are against anti-Arrogance Islam and faithful people,” Iran deputy council official says.
