Iran starts 10-day celebrations marking victory of 1979 Islamic Revolution

The loudspeakers at Imam Khomeini Mausoleum in Tehran on Sunday counted the seconds to 9:33 a.m., the exact time, 42 years earlier, when the late founder of the Islamic Republic returned to Iran on February 1, 1979 after 15 years of exile.

This great turning point of 20th-century history marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Dawn, which culminates with the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 10.
