Alalam - Iran
Demonstrators in Tehran on Friday chanted traditional slogans against the U.S. and Israel at a time when new U.S. President Donald Trump has already engaged in a war of words with Iran's leadership and put Tehran "on notice" over a recent ballistic missile test.
Among other places, demonstrators marched toward Azadi Square, where President Hassan Rouhani will address the crowd.
State television aired footage of commemorations in Tehran and other cities and towns across the country, many of them in subzero weather.
The rallies commemorate Feb. 11, 1979, when followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ousted the U.S.-backed Shah Reza Pahlavi.
