ALWAGHT- A nationwide motorcycle parade was held in Tehran and across Iran to commemorate Imam Khomeini's historic 1979 return and mark the start of the Islamic Revolution's 46th anniversary.
The anniversary of Imam Khomeini's return to Iran on February 1, 1979, was commemorated nationwide.
As the exact moment of his arrival at Mehrabad Airport was marked, celebrations for the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution officially began.
A key event of the day is the motorcycle parade, retracing Imam Khomeini's historic route from Mehrabad Airport to Behesht Zahra, with the path being showered with flowers in tribute.
Additionally, Friday prayers in Tehran are being held at Imam Khomeini's shrine.
Before leading the revolution that toppled the Pahlavi regime, Imam Khomeini spent years in exile in Iraq and France.
The 10-day period from his return to the revolution’s victory is annually celebrated in Iran as the Ten-Day Fajr (Dawn).
