Tarikhe Parchame Iran: Sargozashte Shir-o Khorshid is a 2026 Iranian historical documentary directed by Hamed Siasirad, tracing the centuries-old story of Iran's flag and the enduring Lion and Sun emblem that became one of the country's most powerful and contested national symbols.

What is Tarikhe Parchame Iran Sargozashte Shir o Khorshid about?

Over seventy minutes, this documentary takes on the origins and evolution of the Shir-o Khorshid — the Lion and Sun motif — a story whose real-world arc runs from early appearances in Persian art and royal iconography through the Safavid, Qajar, and Pahlavi dynasties, each of which shaped and reshaped the symbol's meaning. The film examines how the emblem moved from a royal seal to a national flag, what it represented to ordinary Iranians across generations, and why it remains a charged and emotional image for millions of people in the diaspora and inside Iran alike. Framed as a history documentary rather than a drama, it offers a visual and political biography of a symbol that refuses to be forgotten.

About the cast

The documentary is directed by Hamed Siasirad, who the same year also made a companion history documentary on the origins of CENTCOM and American aircraft carriers, and it lists Ahmad Hashemi as its credited on-screen participant. As a history documentary rather than a dramatisation, it keeps the focus on the emblem's documented past and on what that past has meant to Iranians.

Context & significance

For Iranians living abroad, the Lion and Sun flag carries a weight that goes far beyond historical curiosity. It appears at protests, cultural gatherings, and community events worldwide as a symbol of a pre-revolutionary Iranian identity. This documentary offers diaspora viewers a rigorous and grounded account of where that symbol actually comes from — its royal origins, its religious and astrological layers of meaning, and the political transformations that eventually removed it from official use after 1979. Understanding that history helps contextualize why the emblem still stirs such deep feeling, and why its story is inseparable from the broader narrative of modern Iran.
