\nTasnim International News Agency reported that the February 11 rallies and anniversary ceremonies were held in Tehran and throughout the Islamic Republic of Iran.
\nIn the capital, Tehran, the events were organized along 13 routes, all leading to Azadi Square. The main ceremony in the capital began at 9:30 a.m. and included poetry recitations, anthem performances, a speech by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and the reading of the final statement.
\nA striking image captured the presence of the Iranian people at the February 11 rally.
\nAraghchi: The People\u2019s Presence Is a Message of Strength for the Islamic Republic
\nIranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said during the February 11 rallies that \u201cthe people\u2019s presence represents a message of strength for the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we draw upon this participation in the diplomatic arena.\u201d
\nHe added that this popular presence \u201cis the secret of Iran\u2019s strength and capability, and the most important element supporting us at the negotiating table.\u201d
\n\u201cDeath to America and Israel\u201d Chanted in Tehran\u2019s Azadi Square
\nAzadi Square in Tehran witnessed chants of \u201cDeath to America\u201d and \u201cDeath to Israel\u201d on the sidelines of the February 11 rallies commemorating the victory of the Islamic Revolution, with broad participation from various segments of society.
\nSenior Military Officials Participate in the Rally
\nCommander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, took part in the February 11 rally.
\nPresident Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran would overcome upcoming challenges through national resilience and under the wise guidance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
\nSpeaking this morning at Azadi Square during the commemoration ceremony, Pezeshkian said that the \u201cDay of God\u201d embodies the uprising of a conscious people against oppression, aggression, and arrogance, and represents the path from darkness to light. He added that the philosophy of the Iranian Revolution is based on establishing justice and demonstrating domestic capabilities in science, art, and governance, in order to send a message of independence and dignity to Muslims worldwide.
\nThe president explained that what he described as \u201carrogant powers,\u201d led by the United States and supported by certain European countries, attempted from the early days of the revolution to stir unrest, create divisions, and engineer coups to halt the growth of the nascent revolution, but their efforts ultimately failed.
\nHe pointed to the legacy of fallen figures and senior leaders such as Soleimani, Bagheri, and Salami as evidence of sacrifice for Iran\u2019s dignity, calling for comparisons between officials who allegedly acquire assets abroad and those who served the nation without seeking power or wealth.
\nPezeshkian also emphasized that enemies use media to mislead youth about the country\u2019s true servants, asserting that the martyrdom of those figures stands as proof of their legitimacy.
\nHe added: \u201cAs a government official, I affirm that we apologize to the people for any shortcomings. The government is working at full capacity to solve problems, and we are confident that through national resilience and under the wise guidance of the Leader of the Revolution, we will overcome the coming challenges.\u201d
\nIRGC Commander-in-Chief Major General Mohammad Pakpour, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, President Pezeshkian, and Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, also participated in the rallies in Tehran.
\nSymbolic Coffins and Missile Displays
\nSymbolic coffins representing several American and Israeli military leaders were displayed on the sidelines of the February 11 rallies.
\nCruise missiles, including \u201cSoumar,\u201d \u201cNoor,\u201d and \u201cQadir,\u201d as well as ballistic missiles such as \u201cHaj Qassem,\u201d \u201cEmad,\u201d and \u201cZolfaghar,\u201d were exhibited in Azadi Square ahead of the national ceremony. Some of these missiles had reportedly been used in operations known as \u201cTrue Promise 1, 2, and 3\u201d against Israel, as well as in targeting the U.S. base at Al Udeid in Qatar.
\nIsraeli drones that were reportedly shot down during the 12-day war were also displayed during the rallies in Tehran.
\nIranians marked the anniversary following large gatherings held on what was referred to as the \u201cDay of God\u201d on January 12, when citizens demonstrated to condemn armed terrorist acts attributed to Mossad elements. Today\u2019s rallies were also expected to include condemnations of what were described as crimes committed by the United States and Israel in recent years, particularly the 12-day war and an alleged \u201cquasi-coup attempt\u201d that occurred in January of this year.
\nLast night at 9:00 p.m., citizens across the country chanted \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d to commemorate the revolution\u2019s victory. Many cities, especially Tehran, witnessed spontaneous public gatherings where people waved Iranian flags and repeated the chant in public squares.
\nAccording to Tasnim, senior religious authorities, scholars, heads of branches of government, military leaders, officials, institutions, political parties, and public figures issued separate statements calling on citizens to participate in the national occasion.
\nHojjat al-Islam Khodadadeh, Deputy Head of Ceremonial Affairs at the Islamic Propaganda Coordination Council, announced yesterday that more than 7,700 journalists\u2014including 200 foreign journalists\u2014would cover the February 11 events.
\nHe added that military institutions and the aerospace sector would unveil their latest achievements for the first time along the rally routes, aiming to highlight the country\u2019s scientific capabilities and military development alongside popular participation.<\/p>\n
