Iran marks 30 years of Islamic revolution |
2009-02-01 |
Iran paid homage on Saturday to its revolutionary father Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who landed in Tehran 30 years ago to set off the Islamic revolution, as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the revolution would extend beyond Iranian borders. Ahmadinejad joined Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and members of the government and military commanders at Khomeini's mausoleum in southern Tehran to mark his arrival from exile. The country is holding 10 days of celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of the overthrow of the U.S.-backed shah, who ruled Iran for almost four decades but fled just two weeks before Khomeini's return. |
