Parachutists have jumped off Tehran’s Milad Tower, Iran’s tallest, to mark the anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic Republic, which followed the ouster of the Pahlavi monarchy in the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The exciting jump-offs took place on Friday, which was the Islamic Republic Day in Iran.
Forty-three years ago on, 98.2 percent of eligible Iranians voters said ‘yes’ to the replacement of the monarchical system of government with an Islamic republic in a referendum.
The historic referendum was held two months after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, which toppled the US-backed Pahlavi dynasty.
