Two Iranian men speak with each other as they stand in front of military tanks outside a war museum while arriving to spend Sizdah Bedar, also known as Nature's Day, at a park in the Abbasabad Cultural and Tourist Area in central Tehran, Iran, on April 2, 2026. Sizdah Bedar is an Iranian festival held annually on the thirteenth day of Farvardin (the first month of the Iranian calendar), during which people spend time outdoors and mark the end of the Nowruz holidays in Iran.
