Islamic Iran to shine even more brilliantly in its 40th year: IRGC

'Islamic Iran … is ready to give appropriate response to any type of adventurism and in the meantime, it will not give up its support for the Palestinian people,' IRGC said in a statement released on the Islamic Republic Day.

The Iranian people, about two months after the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 11, 1979, made the historic and decisive choice of voting for the establishment of an Islamic Republic system through a referendum held on March 30 and 31.

Over 98.2 percent of Iranians in the referendum voted ’yes’ to the Islamic Republic form of government, and since then April 1 has been observed every year as the Islamic Republic Day and a public holiday in Iran.

Elsewhere in its statement, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps said that the US and its allies are making proxy wars and unrests in the region to provide security for the occupying Israeli regime.

IRGC lauded achievements made by the Islamic Revolution in the past four decades despite enemies' plots against it.

The IRGC statement referred to enemies' attempts to challenge Islamic Republic's influence in the West Asia region and their efforts to weaken its defense power, adding despite enemies' desire, 'the 40th year of the revolution will be its most brilliant one in the past four decades.'
