Iranians mark on Wednesday nationwide rallies to celebrate the 42nd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, with people in big cities are holding rallies inside their vehicles amid the coronavirus pandemic.
People from all walks of life hold massive rallies in different cities and towns across Iran, with drive-in rallies are held for the first time due to COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s rallies are held as the Iranian authorities have imposed strict measures to prevent a new wave of the outbreak as the number of infections and deaths have kept decreasing since the new measures were introduced in the middle of last autumn.
People of different strata attended the demonstrations with motorcycles and automobiles, waving flags of Iran and banners in support of the Islamic Republic to mark the revolution’s anniversary.
In capital Tehran, motorists took different routes to reach the Azadi (Liberty) Square, where President Hassan Rouhani delivered a speech via videoconference.
The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime on February 11, 1979, ending 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.
