Unyielding Unity: A Flag That Never Falls

A flag may appear to be only a piece of fabric, but it carries identity, history and collective memory. In wartime, those meanings become more intense. In Tehran, one flag remained aloft day and night for more than 800 hours, passed continuously from one citizen to another.

This was not a ceremony with a fixed beginning and end. It was a sustained act of commitment—a quiet but powerful demonstration of unity, resilience and the shared responsibility to keep a national symbol standing.
