اميركبير And the flag of Iran

Mirza Taqi Khan Amirkabir, a great man of Iranian history, had a special attachment to Nader Shah, and that is why he constantly advised Naseruddin Shah to read Nader's biography.. Amir Kabir accepted the same colors of the rare flag, but ordered the shape of the flag to be rectangular ( Unlike the triangular shape in the era of Nader Shah ) And across the field White flag, with a green stripe of approximate width 10 centimeter in the upper corner and a red band of the same length should be sewn in the lower part of the flag, and the logo of the lion, the sun and the sword should be placed in the middle of the flag, without placing a crown on top of the sun.. Thus, the Iranian flag almost became the shape and form of today's Iranian flag

With the victory of the constitutional movement in Iran and the appointment of Mozaffar al-Din Shah to form the parliament, the people's representatives in the first and second parliaments will work on drafting the constitution and its amendments.. It was mentioned in the fifth principle of the constitutional amendment: " The official colors of Iran's flag are green, white, and red, and the symbol of the lion and the sun," it is clear that the representatives were hasty in approving this principle.. Because there was no mention of the order of placing the colors, whether they are horizontal or vertical, and that the lion and the sun should be placed on which of the colors.. Also about The presence or absence of a sword or the direction of the lion was not mentioned. It seems part of the rush The representatives considered the use of the image as haram due to the presence of a number of Islamic clerics in the parliament. Representatives of the modernists resorted to religious arguments to justify the colors used in the flag, saying that green is the color of the Prophet of Islam and the color of this religion, so it is suggested that green be placed above the national flag of Iran.. In the case of white color, this historical fact was cited that white color is the favorite color Zoroastrians are a religious minority Thousands of years have lived peacefully in Iran, and white is a symbol of peace, reconciliation and purity, and it should be placed under the color green..

In the case of red color, referring to the value of the martyr's blood in Islam, and the need to protect the blood of the martyrs of the dead of the constitutional revolution, it was pointed out.. When the religious representatives were convinced by these arguments and the environment was favorable, the neo-thinkers present in the parliament moved the discussion to the issue of the symbol of the lion and the sun and justified this issue in such a way that the constitutional revolution in August (Year 1285 Hijri solar 1906 AD) He won, that is, in Asad Tower(Lion). On the other hand, since the majority of Iranians are Shia Muslims and followers of Ali, and Asadullah is one of Imam Ali's titles, therefore, the lion is also a symbol. August is also a sign The first imam of the Shiites also talks about the sun, as the constitutional revolution is in the middle August to

Victory has come and the sun is at the peak of its power and heat these days. We suggest to ride the sun on the back of a lion, as this lion and the sun are both signs. Ali is also a sign The month of August and the sign The 14th of Mordad means the day of the victory of the constitutionalists and of course when it marks the lion The leader of the first Imam, we know that it is necessary to give him the sword of Zulfiqar. Thus, for the first time, the national flag of Iran was officially introduced in the constitution as a symbol of independence and national sovereignty..

History of the royal seal of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi

According to historians, this sign goes back to the time of the Bahram Gur dynasty . According to Ferdowsi, the great Bahram Gor considered himself one of the main heirs to the throne of Iran, but he saw that Khosrow succeeded him, and the elders of the country voted for his kingship. . So, he laid the foundations of taking back the crown of Kiani from Khosrow, and for this reason, the imperial crown of Iran was placed in the middle of the city square according to his request, and two lions were released to protect it. . It was decided that each of the two princes ( Khosrow and Bahram ) If they can free the crown of Iran from between two lions, that person will become the official king of Iran . On the promised day, Khosrow avoided this task and did not accept his risk, and the field was given to Bahram. . Bahram was able to take the crown with courage and skill and a long battle, and finally he killed both lions with a mace. . This caused the generals and commanders to install a sign on their hats since the time of Naser al-Din Shah . The royal seal of Iran, which has two lions protecting the imperial crown, originated from that time . Because Reza Shah himself was one of the generals of that time, and after enough effort and merit to reach the rank of emperor, he made the same emblem the official emblem of Iran with a few changes. . Today, the Kingdom of England has also chosen a symbol very similar to this Iranian emblem .

In the year 1336 Manouchehr Iqbal, the Prime Minister at the time, at the suggestion of a delegation of representatives of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Education and War, specified the dimensions and other details of the flag in a letter.. letter section Another in the year 1337 Regarding the proportionality of the length and width of the flag, it was decided that the length of the flag should be slightly more than one and a half times its width. .

The flag after the Islamic revolution :

In the 18th principle of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran approved in 1358 Regarding the flag, it has been said that the flag of the Islamic Republic consists of three colors: green, white and red The Islamic Republic is in the middle of it . This work was done based on Ruhollah Khomeini's order

who said, "Throw away this cursed lion and sun." " But after 27 Year after year 1384 The Islamic Council in the "Investigation Section of the Council"." Through historical studies, he called the lion and the sun as a national and Iranian symbol, and in a report published in Aftab Newspaper of Yazd, he considered it unrelated to the imperial emblem of Iran and suggested the return of Iranian lion statues in public squares and buildings. .
