Israel celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution on Sunday. In a speech during the festivities, President Ebrahim Raisi called for Israel’s expulsion from the United Nations.
Israel has violated “400 declarations, resolutions and agreements” concluded within the framework of “international organizations,” Raisi said on Sunday before thousands of people on Freedom Square in the Iranian capital Tehran. Raisi called Israel’s war against the radical Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas “a crime against humanity” – “and the supporters of this criminal regime are the US and some Western countries.”
Iranian-made drones and missiles could be seen around Tehran’s Freedom Square. Some people also carried portraits of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini or supreme spiritual leader Ali Khamenei. They sang, among other things, ‘Down with the US’ and ‘Down with Israel’. Several Israeli and American flags burned.
The majority of Iranians do not celebrate it
In February 1979, an uprising by then revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini led to the collapse of the monarchy. In recent years, the Iranian leadership’s relationship with the West has deteriorated dramatically. The reasons for this are Tehran’s controversial nuclear program, human rights violations and Iranian support for militant groups in the Middle East. The majority of Iranians are indifferent to Sunday’s celebrations.
