Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi commemorated the anniversary of Aban 13, the National Student Day and the Day of Fight against Global Arrogance on Friday and said that the US plays the leading role in fanning the flames of wars and causing bloodshed worldwide.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi commemorated the anniversary of Aban 13, the National Student Day and the Day of Fight against Global Arrogance on Friday and said that the US plays the leading role in fanning the flames of wars and causing bloodshed worldwide.

Addressing the participants of National Student Day rallies, which is the anniversary of the takeover of the former US Embassy in Iran, President Raisi underscored that today is the day to fight global arrogance.

Raisi added that arrogance is egoism and selfishness.

He noted that today is a symbol and manifestation of the arrogance of the dominant system of the US, which was described by the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini as “the great evil”

The Iranian president said that the US is willing to destroy many people all over the world to serve its interests.

He said that Iran gained freedom 43 years ago and is determined not to be held in captivity, adding that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not become their "milk cows".

Nationwide rallies started in Tehran and 900 other cities of Iran on Friday, November 4, to mark National Student Day, which is the anniversary of the takeover of the former US Embassy in Iran.

Aban 13 (November 4) is the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance in Iran, on which Iranians gather together in rallies to commemorate the day.

On Aban13, 1358 A.H. (Nov 4, 1979), Iranian students took over the US embassy in Tehran. On the same day the previous year, a group of Iranian high school and university students had been killed by the security forces of the Shah regime in a protest demonstration.

During the nationwide Aban 13 rallies, the Iranian people show hatred towards the global hegemonic powers and renew allegiance to the Islamic principles set by Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.

At the end of the Aban13 rallies, the Muslim worshipers will hold the Friday prayers in Tehran.

More than 3500 reporters and photographers cover the rallies throughout the country.
