The massive gathering of people took place in the Iranian capital on Wednesday afternoon on the occasion of the auspicious birth anniversary of Imam Reza (AS), the eighth Shiite Imam, with strong public participation.
The ceremony has been held along a route stretching from Imam Hossein (AS) Square to Azadi Square and is scheduled to continue until 9 pm. Similar events have also been held simultaneously across cities nationwide.
Participants, carrying Iranian flags and images of martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, renewed their pledge to the ideals of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, and the martyred Leader.
Through written messages and slogans, demonstrators also renewed their allegiance to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
The gathering, which has been held in previous years and has consistently drawn public attention, took on a more epic and symbolic tone this year following the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran and the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
