In the Iranian capital, Tehran, the meeting point was in Azadi Square.
Later in the day, President Ebrahim Raisi will deliver a speech at the mosque during Friday Prayers.
This anniversary comes at a time when Iran is continuing negotiations with world powers in Vienna to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.
The agreement envisions lifting international sanctions in exchange for limiting Tehran’s nuclear activity.
In 2018, the United States pulled out of the deal and reinstated sanctions on Iran.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday that an agreement could be reached, but warned that if no agreement was reached within weeks, Iran’s progress in the nuclear sector would make that impossible.
Crowds with Iranian flags were heard shouting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”
The 1979 revolution is known for the overthrow of the Western-backed monarchy and the return of the Islamists to power.REL
