The national flag of Iran is hoisted on the latest in Iranian flag pole technology. Like other nations in the area of Asia and the Middle East, this country has been given attention to more frequently lately. Despite some of the more negatively charged stories we hear coming from this nation, its fascinating flag displays a positive energy when displayed gracefully from national flagpoles. It was adopted officially back in 1980, and its adoption reflects the changes that came forth as a result of the Iranian Revolution.
The national flag displays the colors red and green. Considered a tricolor type flag, the color green is displayed first or above the other bands below, which are white and then red. Each stripe is the same in size. Like other flags flown in in today’s world, including Asian flags, the details with regards to the Iranian flag are described through regulations.
In the constitution that was composed in 1980, the government changed the design of the flag as well as the state seal. The symbol of the Lion and the Sun were substituted by a new symbol, which included four crescents and a line. Interestingly, the four crescents combined form the word “Allah.” The “symbols of old” are still used by Iranian certain communities.
Iran is located in the area of Western Asia. Iran is the eighteenth largest country in the world as far as square area is concerned and counts a little less than 80 million people. The Iranian territory is bordered by the countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east, and by Iraq and Turkey to the (north-) west. The country’s capital is Tehran, which is also the largest city in Iran. In the past the country would be referred to as “Persia.” The current name is relatively new to the international community.
I find the Iranian flag to be one of the more fascinating controversial ensigns. Flags are used indoors. Those considering flying the flag of Iran from a fiberglass flag pole, understand that flags work very hard if left attached to flag poles twenty four hours per day.
