A pilgrim is praying during a mass prayer ceremony at the A'zam Mosque in the holy city of Qom, 145 km (90 miles) south of Tehran, on February 7, 2024. Qom is known as the religious capital of Iran and played a pivotal role in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The city has become a center for the struggle against the Pahlavi regime due to the presence of the Qom Seminary and the sources of emulation. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
