Iranians from all walks of life on Friday took to the streets across the country to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the former US-backed Pahlavi regime in 1979.

The rallies this year are of considerable importance due to the failure of Washington�s �maximum pressure� campaign in the face of the Iranian nation�s steadfastness and the US administration�s declaration that it seeks a less confrontational policy toward the Islamic Republic due to the �failed� policy.

Iran's power always serves regional states' stability, security: Ambassador

Iran's Ambassador to Azerbaijan Abbas Mousavi said the Islamic Republic seeks the improvement of peace and security in all regional countries and its power has always served stability and security of its neighboring and friendly states.

Speaking in a virtual ceremony in Baku on Friday to commemorate the 43rd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Mousavi said�Iran's balanced and dynamic diplomacy is based on enhanced ties with countries, particularly the neighbors.

"Iran wants peace and security for all countries in the region, especially its neighbors, and whenever we talk about the Republic of Azerbaijan, we wished for lasting peace, security, stability and tranquility for this neighboring and brother country," the diplomat said.

Iran does not accept language of threat, sanctions: Envoy

Iran's Ambassador to Baghdad Iraj Masjedi also on Friday urged the removal of all sanctions imposed by the United States on the Iranian people following its unilateral withdrawal from the landmark 2015 deal, saying the Islamic Republic does not accept the language of threat and sanctions.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the 1979 victory of the Islamic Revolution, Masjedi said�Iran wants to have good relations with regional countries.

He said ties between Tehran and Baghdad are based on respect, national sovereignty and common interests and noted that Iran supported Iraq's efforts to dismantle terrorist groups, including Daesh.

In an address to a rally marking the 43rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran on Friday, President Raisi said Iran has pinned no hope on the West and it relies solely on the Iranian people to achieve political and economic independence.



"We must pay special attention to all countries, especially our neighbors. But we have hope in God and the people, and we never have hope in Vienna and New York," he said.

Envoys from Iran and the five remaining signatories to the deal -- Britain, France, Russia, and China plus Germany -- have been holding negotiations in the Austrian capital for 10 months with the aim of reviving the agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), through bringing the US back to the deal.

The two sides have bridged some gaps since the talks began last year but differences remain, especially on the issue of US sanctions. Tehran wants all sanctions imposed by the administration of former US President Donald Trump removed and says the issue is its red line.
