TEHRAN – Afghanistan’s ambassador to Tehran has issued a message on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, describing it as a “unique” event in the modern era.

“The Islamic Revolution in Iran was one of the greatest revolutions in the present time which is unique from democratic aspect and also resistance and persistence in face of numerous challenges,” Nasir Ahmad Nour said in his message.

The 1979 Islamic Revolution ended the rule of the despotic regime of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and replaced with an Islamic republic system under the leadership of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
