Iran rallies to mark 35 years of revolution
- 10 years ago
Hundreds of thousands of people are reported to have gathered on the streets of the Iranian capital to mark the 35th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
The revolution was set in motion in 1979 after a siege began some 10 months following the fall of the US-allied shah.
More recently, Iran reached an interim agreement with Western powers to curb its nuclear programme, which the West suspects is meant to develop a nuclear bomb.
