Thousands of Iranians gathered in Tehran’s Enqelab Square and along a 10-kilometer route across the capital to mark Eid al-Ghadir, one of the most significant events in the Shiite Islamic calendar.
Large crowds were seen waving Iranian flags and Hezbollah banners as celebrations spread through central districts of the city.
Footage from the event showed organized processions, cultural displays, and public gatherings expressing support for national leadership and religious unity.
Attendees described the occasion as both a spiritual celebration and a demonstration of solidarity and national identity.
Eid al-Ghadir commemorates the historical moment in Shiite tradition when Prophet Muhammad is believed to have appointed Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor.
The event is widely observed in Iran, with public ceremonies, gatherings, and religious programs held across major cities.
This year’s celebrations also included displays of military equipment, including an Iranian-made Shahed-136 drone, drawing attention from attendees.
Organizers say the event reflects a combination of faith, tradition, and national unity.
Authorities reported large turnout numbers, with security and traffic management deployed to handle the crowds.
The celebrations continue as one of the most prominent religious gatherings in the country’s annual calendar.
