Iran Press/ Iran News: June 5 is the anniversary of the 15th of the Khordad uprising back in 1963, considered to be the beginning of the historic uprise of the Iranian nation against the regime of the Shah, which led to the victory of the Islamic Revolution 16 years later in 1979.
On the day of Ashura in 1963, the late Imam Khomeini (RA) made a historic and forthright speech, exposing the crimes of the Pahlavi regime.
