Student Day rallies kick off nationwide in Iran
Nationwide rallies started in Tehran and 900 other cities of Iran on Friday, November 4, to mark National Student Day, which is the anniversary of the takeover of the former US Embassy in Iran.
Aban 13th (November 4) is the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance in Iran, on which Iranians gather together in rallies to commemorate the day.
In Tehran, the event will be held in front of the US Den of Espionage (the former US embassy) and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will address the participants of the event.
Chanting slogans such as 'Death to America' students have massively taken part in today's rallies.
On the 13th of Aban 1358 A.H. (Nov 4, 1979) Iranian students took over the US embassy in Tehran. On the same day the previous year, a group of Iranian high school and university students had been killed by the security forces of the Shah regime in a protest demonstration.
During the nationwide 13th Aban rallies, the Iranian people show hatred towards the global hegemonic powers and renew allegiance to the Islamic principles set by Imam Khomeini, the late father of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
At the end of the 13th Aban rallies, the Muslim worshipers will hold the Friday prayers in Tehran.
More than 3500 reporters and photographers cover the rellies throughout the country.
