Iran-Daily Life And The Holy Shrine In Qom 45 Years After Islamic Revolution
Pilgrims are praying next to the tomb of Fatima Masumeh, the sister of Imam Reza, in the holy city of Qom, 145 km (90 miles) south of Tehran, Iran, 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)
