The Iranian flag features three horizontal stripes of green, white, and red. The green stripe symbolizes Islam and growth, the white represents peace, and the red stands for courage and sacrifice. In the center of the white stripe is the national emblem of Iran, which consists of a stylized representation of a tulip and a sword, symbolizing the country's heritage and strength. The flag's design was officially adopted in 1980, following the Iranian Revolution. The Islamic Republic of Iran uses this flag to represent its national identity and values. The flag's proportions are 4:7, and it includes 22 stylized inscriptions of the word "Allah" along the borders of the green and red stripes.
