The Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic managed to frustrate the US sanctions scheme, adding that the riot incidents occurred due to the failure of the sanctions policy.
Regarding the dependency on the US dollar, President Raisi indicated that the Iranian government seeks providing the citizens with all the needed commodities away from the fluctuation of the dollar prices.
In a TV interview on the Ten-day Dawn, Sayyed Raisi stressed that the rhetoric of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei is based on defending freedom, independence, justice and fight against corruption.
Every year, Iranians mark the anniversary of their Islamic Revolution from February 1 to 11, known as the Ten-Day Dawn ceremonies. During the celebrations, Iranians take part in different events and activities to mark the occasion.
Led by Imam Khomeini, the Islamic Revolution was driven by anti-imperialist sentiments since former Iranian monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was heavily dependent on Western powers, not least the United States.
By toppling the Pahlavi regime 44 years ago, the Iranian nation ended 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country and established a new political system – a republic based on Islamic values and democracy.
