Marking the 45th anniversary of Victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution

Veiled women wave an Iranian flag and a Lebanon Hezbollah's flag next to the tomb of Iran’s Late Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during a ceremony to mark the 45th anniversary of Victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution in the shrine of the Ayatollah Khomeini in the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery in southern Tehran, February 1, 2024. In February 1979, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the king of Iran, left Iran, and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to the country from France, which marked the first of ten days known as the "Ten Days of Dawn" that led to the victory of the Islamic Revolution. The removal of Pahlavi, the last king of Iran, officially marked the end of Iran's historic monarchy.
