Islamic Republic of Iran Army Day
The Iranian Government makes a show of military force on Iran Army Day with parades every 18 April, often demonstrating new defense technologies.[7][8][9]
The former Supreme leader of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini named 18 April as Army Day, calling for military parades to exhibit the nation's military preparedness. The Iranian military honors the country's National Army Day by annual military parading in many cities of Iran every 18th day of April. The biggest march is held in front of the mausoleum of Ruhollah Khomeini.[10]
