Iran firar 30 år

"Thirty years have passed on the Iranian Revolution, but its reflection is still witnessed day after day worldwide…

At a ceremony marking the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday that Iran's Islamic revolution was not limited to its borders. "The revolution is lively and alive after 30 years," Ahmadinejad stressed.

"We are still at the beginning of the path and greater changes are ahead. This thunderous revolution will continue until justice is implemented," the Iranian president said. "Although the Islamic revolution happened in Iran it is not limited to Iranian borders," he emphasized.

Crowds chanted "Death to America! Death to Israel!" at the ceremony at Khomeini's mausoleum in southern Tehran also attended by supreme leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, government ministers and military commanders.

"Because of Islam we saw victory in Gaza and Lebanon," said the revolutionary leader's grandson Hassan Khomeini. "Iranians are proud because Khomeini was the flag bearer of this Islamic awakening worldwide.""
