Iran Celebrates 35 years of Islamic Revolution

On February 11, 1979, Iran proclaimed the triumph of the Islamic revolution. 35 years later, the screaming "Death to America" and "down with Israel" continue to reverberate loudly in the streets of Tehran despite the climate of détente in international relations.

Elected in June last year, the moderate Hassan Rohani climbed Tuesday on stage in Azadi square and stated that "Iran is determined to carry out fair and constructive negotiations" to resolve the nuclear issue. The Iranian President criticized economic sanctions that continue to be imposed on the country and described as "illusion", the possibility of an attack against the Islamic Republic, which was evoked by us officials in the event of failure of the negotiations.

Discussions with a view to a global agreement for the nuclear issue should be taken up to 18 this month in Vienna.

On the eve of the culmination of the "ten days of Dawn", which evoke the period between his arrival to Iran of Ayatollah Khomeini â€" on 1 February â€" and the overthrow of the monarchy of Shah Reza Pahlavi, Tehran claims successfully tested two missiles. According to the Iranian Defence Minister, one of the projectiles is a stealthy long-range ballistic missile.
