Shahrivar 31 in the Iranian calendar (September 21 this year) is the beginning of the Sacred Defense Week in Iran when Iranians hold a week-long ceremonies, including military parades and putting on display latest achievements of the country’s defense industry, to honor the fallen soldiers and cherish the strength and resistance of the people during the eight years of war which eventually brought to an end through a UN-brokered cease-fire.
This year, Iran canceled a military parade due to the spread of coronavirus global pandemic.
