# Emblem of Iran

### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

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.
