IRGC marks the anniversary of uprooting U.S. influence in Iran
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has marked the 41st anniversary of ending the U.S. presence in Iran, saying relying on the domestic power and capacities of the country guarantees the Iranian nation’s victory against the U.S. economic war.
In a statement on Monday, the IRGC said the enmity of the U.S. toward the Iranian nation dates back to 60 years ago, a reference to the 1953 U.S.-backed coup against the democratic government of Mohammad Mosaddegh.
It emphasized that since then both Democratic and Republican presidents have pursued the same hostile policies against Iran, Mehr reported.
The statement also refuted the idea of linking foreign developments to solutions to address domestic problems.
On November 4, 1979, Iranian revolutionaries occupied the U.S. embassy in Tehran, which was dubbed “the den of spies” by Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic. American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. The day is marked in Iran as the National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance. According to the IRGC, November 4 is characterized by three momentous incidents in the history of the U.S. regime and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It added that the treacherous, vicious and criminal hand of the United States in the incidents of the massacre of 56 Iranian students in the University of Tehran (4 Nov. 1943), the exile of Imam Khomeini to Turkey (4 Nov. 1964), and the seizure of Den of Espionage (4 Nov. 1979) reveals the arrogant approach of the rulers of the White House against the Islamic Revolution. The notion of “fight against global arrogance” has a root in the principles and foundations of the Islamic Revolution, the IRGC said, stressing that it won’t be influenced by any psychological operations, media propaganda.
