Iran's Annual Army Day Parade in Photos

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.
