# Emblem of Iran

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Emblem of Iran was made after the Islamic Revolution in that country in 1979. After the revolution, Iran decided to use a new flag. The old flag had a picture of a golden lion with a sabre that was a symbol for the Shah (king) of Iran. This emblem is a symbol for the whole country and the Islamic character of the new government. It is drawn to look like a version of the word الله which means "God" in Farsi (the language of Iran) and also in the Arabic language. It looks like a tulip, which is an old symbol for Iran.
