Hello and welcome to NewsHour live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kesby.
It's 47 years since the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Months of unrest led to the overthrow of the monarch, the Shah,
and the rise of the new Islamic Republic, ruled by a radical cleric Ayatollah Homeini.
Today, just a month after nationwide mass protests against the government and the brutal put down,
which is thought to have killed around 7,000,
people are on the streets of Tehran again to mark the anniversary.
But this time, chanting in faith of the regime and against the old perceived enemy.
The cheerleader there guiding the crowd, chanting the slogan of every student,
death to America, the slogan of every Iranian, death to America.
Well,
President Massoud Pasejkiyan addressed a rally in central Tehran today and said the Islamic Republic was still the best option for Iran.
