Two Iranian women walk past black cloths as they arrive to take part in Tasua commemorations in the historic Grand Bazaar in southern Tehran on June 24, 2026. Tasua is held one day before Ashura, during Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, which is a sacred time marked by mourning Imam Hussein's martyrdom at Karbala.
