TEHRAN - Iranian citizens are celebrating the ancient Nowruz (the Persian New Year) while their country is under an illegal and borderless war by the United States and Israel.
Despite the ongoing U.S.-Israeli imposed war, people from all walks of life in the country are preparing to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year, with the universal message of boosting unity and peace among people.
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.
TEHRAN — “Uncle Nowruz, do not come here.” This haunting plea has echoed through my mind as the 1405 spring approaches.
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.
TEHRAN – Officials in Natanz have emphasized the importance of maintaining historical integrity of the ancient city as preparations are underway to accommodate increased tourism during the upcoming Nowruz holiday, which officially starts on March 21.
