TL;DR Summary

Hundreds of thousands of people participated in rallies across Iran to mark the 45th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with major streets and squares decorated with flags and banners. The commemorations included displays of domestically produced missiles and a paratrooper jumping from a plane with a Palestinian flag. President Ebrahim Raisi accused the US and Western countries of backing Israel's actions in Gaza, while state media claimed "millions participated in the rallies" across the country. The Islamic Revolution began with widespread unrest in Iran over the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and Iran's support for the Palestinian cause remains a pillar of its foreign policy.
