<p>Hundreds of thousands of Iranians came together in Tehran Friday to recognize the anniversary of the nation&rsquo;s 1979 Islamic Revolution. ;</p>
<p>Attendees swore allegiance to clerical leaders and spoke out against President Donald Trump, rejecting his threats against the Islamic Republic. ;</p>
<p>Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and other top figures urged people to attend Friday&rsquo;s event to &ldquo;show their unbreakable ties with the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic.&rdquo; According to Rouhani, millions of people turned out to attend rallies throughout the nation. &ldquo;This turnout of people is a strong response to false remarks by the new leaders of America,&rdquo; he said.  ;</p>
<p>This surge of anti-Trump sentiment comes after the US president imposed new sanctions on Iran and announced he was putting the Middle Eastern nation &ldquo;on notice&rdquo; following its <a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/iran-ignores-un-resolution-conducts-second-missile-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ballistic missile test</a> on January 29th. ;</p>
<p>The Trump Administration is also considering whether to label Iran&rsquo;s Revolutionary Guard Corps a &ldquo;terrorist organization.&rdquo; Such a decision would have serious political, economic, and geopolitical ramifications. ;</p>
<p>Rouhani delievered a speech to the crowds in Tehran&#8217;s Azadi (Freedom) Square, referring to &#8220;inexperienced figures&#8221; in America who are &#8220;threatening&#8221; Iran. &ldquo;They should know the language of threats has never worked with Iran. We are not seeking tension but we are united before bullying and any threat.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Rouhani&rsquo;s speech, in which he highlighted the achievements of his administration, called for national unity, and praised the Obama-era nuclear deal, is likely related to his upcoming bid for re-election.</p>
<p>The crowd, which included hundreds of policeman and military personnel, touted &ldquo;Death to America&rdquo; signs and anti-Trump propaganda as they marched towards Azadi Square. ;</p>
<p>Protestors stomped on images of Trump and carried banners reading: &ldquo;Thanks Mr. Trump for showing the real face of America.&rdquo; Others carried &ldquo;Death to the Devil Triangle&rdquo; banners portraying Trump alongside British Prime Minister Theresa May and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.</p>
<p>In the meantime, Iran insists it has ;no plans to halt its missile program. The effort will continue  ;&ldquo;at any cost,&rdquo; said one of Ayatollah Khamenei&rsquo;s advisers.  ;</p>
<p>Friday&rsquo;s rally is an annual event held to celebrate the uprising in 1979 when followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini overthrew US-backed Shah Reza Pahlavi. The event, intended to show support for Iran&rsquo;s clerical regime and its values, regularly draws thousands of supporters. ;</p>
