Flag of Iran: Colors, Emblem, and National Symbolism

The Iranian flag features three horizontal bands: green (top), white (middle), and red (bottom).

Green symbolizes growth and unity, white represents peace and honesty, and red signifies bravery and martyrdom. Centered on the white band is Iran’s national emblem, a stylized composite of Islamic elements. The phrase “Allahu Akbar” repeats 22 times in Kufic script along the green and red bands’ inner edges. Adopted in 1980.
