Aban 13 (November 4) is the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance in Iran, on which Iranians gather together in rallies to commemorate the day.
On Aban13, 1358 A.H. (Nov 4, 1979), Iranian students took over the US embassy in Tehran. On the same day the previous year, a group of Iranian high school and university students had been killed by the security forces of the Shah regime in a protest demonstration.
During the nationwide Aban 13 rallies, the Iranian people show hatred towards the global hegemonic powers and renew allegiance to the Islamic principles set by Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
At the end of the Aban13 rallies, the Muslim worshipers will hold the Friday prayers in Tehran.
More than 3500 reporters and photographers cover the rallies throughout the country.
