AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The commemoration event kicked off on Thursday morning with the presence of the Iranian people.
The people chanted saying "Down with the US", "Down with Israel," and "Allah Akbar."
To mark the 45th anniversary of the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution and the holy days of the Fajr Celebration, the Iranian President and the members of the cabinet renewed their allegiance with the ideals of the great founder of the Islamic Revolution by attending the Holy Mausoleum of Imam Khomeini (RA).
On 1 February 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Tehran after a period of exile in France imposed by the Shah of Iran, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi. Several million people went to Mehrabad International Airport to welcome Imam Khomeini.
The event marks the Fajr decade which is a ten-day celebration of the return of the Late Founder of the Islamic Revolution to Iran in 1979.
The annual celebration is held between 1 and 11 February. Its beginning coincides with the date of Imam Khomeini's arrival to Iran.
