Iran Flag History Today
by Omar Kisling
For most of history, the tract of land now called Iran was known as Persia. It wasn't until 1935 that it adopted its present name. Early Persia was a formidable empire, whose vast plateau rimmed by mountain ranges, was variously invaded by Arabs, Turks and Mongols.
In 612, they combine with Babylon to sack the Assyrian capital at Nineveh. Their spoils are northern Assyria and much of Anatolia, where the Halys river becomes the border between themselves and Lydia.
The First inhabitants of Iran were a race of people living in western Asia. When the Aryans arrived, they gradually started mingling with the old native Asians. Aryans were a branch of the people today known as the Indo-Europeans, and are believed to be the ancestors of the people of present India, Iran, and most of Western Europe. In 1979, the nation, under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini, erupted into revolution and the current Islamic republic of Iran was founded.
The flag of Iran consists of three equal sized horizontal stripes - the top stripe is green; the middle one is white, and the bottom stripe is red. On the edges of the white stripe, there are stylized writings. In the middle of the white stripe and at the flag's center is the country's coat of arms consisting of four crescents and a sword.
The flag of Iran is a horizontal tricolor featuring three equal bands of green (top), white (middle), and red (bottom). In the middle band of the flag, the national emblem is placed. Designed by Hamid Nadimi, the emblem is red in color and symbolizes the five principles of Islam. The emblem is made up of four crescents with a sword in the center. The sword in the center represents the strength of the nation.
The four crescents form the word Allah: read from right to left the first crescent is the letter aleph, the second crescent is the first laam; the vertical line is the second laam, and the third and fourth crescents together form the heh. Above the central stroke is a tashdid (a diacritical mark indicating gemination) resembling a letter W. The tulip shape of the emblem as a whole memorializes those who have died for Iran and symbolizes the values of patriotism and self-sacrifice, building on a legend that red tulips grow from the shed blood of martyrs. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Iranian Flag for the future.
