Meet the Iranian Islamic Revolution

Iranians have initiated their celebrations since the beginning of this month as the “Ten-Day Dawn,” began. The latter is in memory of the first ten days of February 1979 as Imam Khomeini returned to Iran from France on February 1, 1979, after fifteen years of exile and distance from his homeland. Highly welcomed by the people of Iran, he paved the way for the Islamic Revolution's victory on February 11, 1979. 

At the end of that day, 45 years ago, the victory of the Islamic Revolution was declared, bringing down the US-"Israel" backed Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and initiating the Islamic Republic System through a referendum.

Military advances on display

A display made available for the public showcased several weapons and systems indigenously developed by the Islamic Republic.

The display included the medium-range Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile, the Haj Qassem ballistic missile, the intermediate-range and two-stage Sejjil ballistic missile, the Kheibar-Shekan ballistic missile, the short-range Qiam-1 ballistic missile, and the Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis cruise missile.

Iran's recently developed air defense systems were also seen at the display, including the third Khordad air defense system, the Khordad-15 air defense system, and the short-range Majid mobile air defense system. 

Some of the products of Iran's leading unmanned aerial vehicles were also seen at the celebration, including the Shahed-136 suicide drone, the stealth and jet-powered Shahed-171 drone, the Mohajer-6 multirole UAV. Fighter and training jets, as well as helicopters developed in Iran, were also seen in the form of miniature models.
