Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has addressed the nation on TV to mark the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, stressing true national power comes from unity, not from weapons.
He urged the Iranian people to continue showing support for the country, calling for demonstrations to show the nation’s vitality and strength on the world stage.
It comes hours after the arrest of four people in Iran over allegations they tried to disrupt the political and social order.
They include the secretary general of a reformist party, a former diplomat and a former Member of Parliament.
A message on the website of the Iran Judiciary claims they “worked to undermine national cohesion”.
Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem has more from Tehran, Iran.
