Millions of people are holding nationwide rallies across Iran on Friday to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 that toppled the former pro-US regime of the Shah.
The annual ceremonies are underway in the capital Tehran and other cities and will continue until noon.
