This song pays homage not only to the Iranian state but also to the greatness of Iranian Civilization. It traces Iran’s history in this march-style hymn, composed by the Imperial Iranian Military Band. The song touches on the basic tenets of Iranian Culture and its Zoroastrian roots. The constant battle between the forces of Good and Evil, and Iran’s central role in being the cradle of all that is pure. The Flag presented in this video is a digital restoration of one of Iran’s ceremonial military flags. This one belongs to the Imperial Armed Forces and was unveiled following the decisive victory of 1946. Thus, the text in the center reads “The Support of Order“ or “Poshtibâni-e Nezâm.“ The portrait depicted is that of General Fazlollah Zahedi, a controversial yet powerful figure in Iranian history.
