The Khordad National Uprising refers to the public revolt on June 5, 1963, in Iran against the arrest of Ayatollah Khomeini after his vehement opposition to the Shah and his policies. It’s remembered as a critical prelude to the Islamic Revolution that would occur 16 years later. This day is observed with political speeches and gatherings where the themes of resistance and struggle for justice are revisited.
