Parachutists jump off Irans tallest tower to mark Islamic Republic Day
Parachutists have jumped off Tehrans Milad Tower, the tallest in Iran, to mark the anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic Republic, which followed the ouster of the Pahlavi monarchy in the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The occasion is the day when the Islamic Republic was officially declared in the country based on the results of a referendum, in which an overwhelming 98.2 percent of Iranian voters said yes to the replacement of the monarchical system with the brand-new system of governance.

he historic referendum was held two months after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, which toppled the US-backed Pahlavi dynasty.
