Nowruz in the shadow of war​

This year, Nowruz does not feel the way it used to. Many things still look the same on the outside. The Haft-Seen table is ready, just like every year. There is green wheat, flowers, a mirror, a copy of the Holy Quran, and a glass bowl with small red fish swimming quietly.

The soft arrival of spring in wartime Tehran​

TEHRAN- Year 1404 is ending under a sky that has too often flashed with missiles instead of fireworks, yet spring still arrives in Iran with its quiet, stubborn radiance. For twenty-one days, the attacks have overshadowed the familiar joy of the last days of the year. This time, the new year greets us hand in hand with Eid al-Fitr, but since the first explosions, the lights of Ramadan nights and end-of-year rituals have felt dimmer, as if viewed through a veil of smoke.

A convergence of faith and heritage: celebrating Nowruz amidst war​

BABOLSAR- As the sun dips toward the horizon on this final Friday of the Persian calendar year 1404, the air in the northern city of Babolsar, Mazandaran, carries a bittersweet fragrance.

The spirit of spring​

Tehran — This year, Nowruz was different. It is no exaggeration to call it the most unprecedented Nowruz in Iran’s contemporary history. The Persian year 1404 was a difficult and bitter one for Iranians. Early in the year, the country became embroiled in a 12-day war imposed by the United States and Israel, during which more than a thousand honorable Iranian citizens lost their lives and became victims of the lies, ambitions, and crimes of those two regimes.
