Iranians Mark Tasoua In Tehran
An interior view of the Grand Bazaar in southern Tehran, Iran, on July 5, 2025, shows the market decorated with black flags during a religious festival to commemorate Tasoua, a day ahead of Ashura, following the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, is a sacred time marked by mourning Imam Hussein's martyrdom at Karbala. Islam forbids war during this month, emphasizing peace and restraint. It is a period of deep spiritual reflection and remembrance for Muslims around the world. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
