Tens of thousands of Iranians gathered in Tehran to mark the anniversary of the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution, a significant event in Iran's history. This year's rally coincided with the reinstatement of President Donald Trump's 'maximum pressure' campaign targeting Tehran, adding to the existing uncertainties faced by the nation.
The annual commemoration signifies the end of the American-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's rule and the establishment of Iran's Shiite theocracy. However, Iran currently grapples with severe economic sanctions that have taken a toll on its economy, with the national currency hitting a record low against the dollar.
