US should withdraw from Islamic states

According to IRIB.com

Iranian people called on Monday for US unconditional withdrawal from all Islamic states referring to Washington as the "main war-monger and cause of insecurity worldwide."Large groups of people staged demonstration in Tehran this morning marking this year's National Day Against Global Arrogance (November 4), an Iranian tradition since the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

November 4 has great significance in Iranian history because of three decisive events:

1. Declaration of the day as the 'Students Day' in remembrance of several students martyred in 1978 while taking part in protest rally against the former Shah,

2. Sending to exile of the late Imam Khomeini in 1963 and

3. Take-over of the former US embassy in Tehran by university students followers of the Imam Khomeini in 1979.

Ralliers, including groups of school and university students, shouted slogans against the United States as they marched through Tehran's streets leading to the site of the former US embassy in Tehran, better known in Iranian history as the "Den of Spies."

The demonstrators read a six-point statement at the end of their demonstration calling for US unconditional withdrawal from all Muslim states.

Referring to the US as the main cause of insecurity in the world, the statement said the only way out of the present global crisis caused by US wrong policies "is to fight against oppressive and colonial policies of the world arrogance and Western powers led by the US."It added that efforts made by Western powers, the US in particular, to halt progress of the Islamic states, specially Iran, was "resulted from the influence of Zionist lobbies on international organizations as well as the US and its allies pressures on international bodies."

The statement added that Iranian students would continue with their active presence at all political scenes and their support for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
