DUBAI – Iranians staged a socially-distanced commemoration of their 1979 Islamic revolution on Wednesday, parading in vehicles to avoid virus infections.
State television carried live footage of cars, motorcycles and bicycles moving through the streets of cities and towns where normally thousands of people march at the annual event.
Despite the switch to wheel-bound forms of parade, the ceremony’s sentiments remained unchanged. Participants waved Iranian flags and signs that read “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” – trademark slogans of the revolution.(Reuters)
