Hawzah News Agency (Tehran - Iran) - President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday that the Islamic Revolution was indeed a "choice" the Iranian nation made.

Addressing the Islamic Revolution anniversary rallies in Tehran, he said the developments during the month of February (coinciding with the month of Bahman according to the Iranian calendar) in 1979, exactly 41 years ago, proved how the power of the Almighty could make its manifestation in the will of a great nation to determine its faith.

He said the victory of the Islamic revolution in that particular time manifested the nation's determination to carry out Almighty's will though certain people then kept promoting the notion that the time of religion and spiritual ways of thinking were over.

Though the world then was divided into West and East poles, the great Iranian nation managed to confront and overcome a regime that was armored up to the teeth and its masters only by relying on its religious inspirations without getting any supports from any powerful countries, he added.

Undoubtedly, one could easily discern the powerful hand of the Almighty and its will in the historic events in Iran in 1979, the Iranian President stressed.
