Millions of Iranians are holding nationwide rallies, celebrating the 38th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

People from different walks of life have taken to the streets across Iran to mark the 1979 Revolution that toppled the Pahlavi dynasty, IRNA reported.

Special ceremonies have been organized nationwide. A mass rally is being held in the iconic Azadi (Liberation) Square in the capital Tehran.

In February 1979, the Iranian revolution overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and replaced it with an Islamic republic under Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution.
