Iranian Women Take Part In Tasua Commemoration
Two Iranian female bicyclists push their bicycles along a street outside a mosque during Tasua commemorations near the historic Grand Bazaar in southern Tehran on June 24, 2026. Tasua is observed 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.
