Candle-Lighting To Mark Ashura In Tehran

Iranian women stand in a line to receive donated meals during a candle-lighting ceremony marking the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, outside a shrine in northern Tehran, Iran, on June 25, 2026. The event takes place at the end of Ashura, following a ceasefire between Iran and a U.S.-Israeli coalition. Ashura is a significant and sacred day in the Shi'ite calendar, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who was killed in the 7th century Battle of Karbala.
