Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi welcomed the members of the convoy at the vessel on Sunday.
Like the previous two years, a convoy of Iranian Quranic figures and activists travel to different cities of the country to hold programs on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution’s victory.
Every year, millions of Iranians across the country observe ten days of celebrations marking the anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that put an end to the monarchy of the US-backed Pahlavi regime in the country.
The day of Imam Khomeini’s return to Iran marks the beginning of the Ten Day Fajr (Ten Days of Dawn), which culminates with rallies on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 11.
The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 42 years ago, ending the 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.
The Islamic Revolution spearheaded by the late Imam Khomeini established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy.
