Pro-Government Women Rally in Tehran: Candle-Lighting, Ashura, IRIS Dena Tribute

The IRIS Dena Tribute Event in Tehran

The pro-government rally in northern Tehran also focused on the IRIS Dena, a Moudge-class frigate connected to Iran’s naval forces. Events honoring military vessels and armed forces personnel are often organized to promote national pride and highlight themes of defense and sacrifice.

During the gathering, young women participated in ceremonies featuring images, banners, and models associated with the naval ship. Such events combine military symbolism with public remembrance.

Supporters attending these gatherings often view military figures and national defense institutions as symbols of resistance and protection. The participation of women in these ceremonies reflects how political and military narratives are communicated through public events.
