The Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei praised the high turnout in the rallies marking the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

"Friends and enemies of the Iranian nation should know that this nation has found its way and has taken its decision to reach the peak of development and welfare, and overcomes any obstacle which comes on its path," Khamenei said.

Iran's spiritual Leader went on to add that the time is ripe for the Iran's foreign enemies to abandon efforts to subjugate the Islamic Republic.

"Trial and errors during the past thirty one years are not enough to awaken a few arrogant bullying states to their futile efforts to dominate this Islamic nation?" Khamenei asked.

Khamenei's remarks came as millions of Iranians took to the streets across the country to celebrate the 1979 Revolution which led to overthrowing the US-backed Shaah regime.

The Leader also wondered whether the presence of tens of millions of people in the rallies could push internal enemies and opposition to realize what path they have embarked on.

In the message issued late on Thursday, Ayatollah Khamenei thanked the Iranians participating in the rallies.
