Iran's Annual Army Day Parade in Photos

Subscribe
Since 1921, massive celebrations commemorating the Iranian army have played a crucial role in uniting the nation and showcasing Iran's unwavering resilience against sanctions and its latest defense and combat capabilities.
The 2024 celebration of Army Day is of particular significance this year due to a new round of developments in the Iran-Israel military confrontation.
During the parade, President Ebrahim Raisi warned that the "tiniest invasion" by Israel would bring a "massive and harsh" response, as the region braces for a new potential stage of military hostilities in the area.
In addition to the Iranian leadership and the nation's top military brass, army veterans, active servicemen and reservists attended the annually-held parade.
