According to Press TV, the annual festivities started on Sunday morning, commemorating the moment the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini (God's mercy upon him), disembarked from an Air France jumbo jet to a massive welcome back home from exile in Paris.
The celebrations will culminate on February 10 which marks the resounding triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
It is the day Iran freed itself from domestic despotism and foreign hegemony, thanks to the astute leadership of Imam Khomeini who ended 2,500 years of monarchy in the country.
Two months later, Iranians went to the polls to vote for a republic based on Islamic values.
With the new anniversary, the Islamic Iran puts behind a tough year which was marked by the assassination of two icons - a military commander and a nuclear scientist and researcher - and the US escalation of its maximum pressure on Tehran amid a pandemic with the ultimate goal of ousting the Islamic Republic.
"Today, when Donald Trump and his criminal clique that sought to bring Iran to its knees have ended their miserable career in total failure despite their cowardly acts of terrorism, such as the illegal sanctions and the assassination of two of the symbols of the Islamic Republic’s power of defense and scientific development – Lt. General Qassem Soleimani and Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh – we have every reason to celebrate Ten-Day Dawn of 2021 with more fervor, especially after our medics have mastered the manufacture of the coronavirus vaccine to kill the pandemic," Tehran-based Kayhan International wrote on Saturday.
