Khorramshahr Liberation Day

Khorramshahr Liberation Day – May 24

Khorramshahr Liberation Day stands as a significant milestone in the contemporary history of the Islamic Republic of Iran. On May 24, 1982, after 578 days of occupation during the Iran-Iraq War, Iranian armed forces successfully liberated the strategic port city of Khorramshahr. This historic victory, achieved through immense sacrifice and resilience, marked a turning point in the conflict and became a symbol of national unity and steadfastness. The day is annually commemorated across the country in honor of the valor and determination of those who defended Iran’s sovereignty.
