the constitution and national flag of Iran; Green, white and red with a lion, sun and sword symbol.
According to the approval of the Council of Ministers in January 1336, the symbol of the lion and the sun must be painted in "golden yellow" color on the white part of the flag, with the lion's head facing the flagpole and a vertical sword in his right hand.
For patriotic Iranians, the lion and sun flag is a symbol of national identity and has a deep connection with their historical and cultural memory. The history of the lion and sun symbol goes back to ancient Iran, but according to historical sources, its use in the flag and official symbols began in the Timurid era. Afterwards, during the Safavid period and especially during the Shah Abbas period, this symbol was used on doors and other government signs.
After the Safavids, the lion and sun sign retained its place and was also printed on the imperial seal of Nadir Shah Afshar. However, it was during the Qajar period and especially during the period of Fath Ali Shah that the flag with the sign of the lion and the sun found a more official and established position.
