Iranian motives

June 4, Iran celebrated the 25th anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, the "father" of the Islamic revolution, "supreme leader" and the spiritual leader of the country from 1979 to 1989. On this occasion, Getty Images photographer John Moore traveled to Iran's iconic locations.

Iran - a very interesting country with a rich history and culture, which, unfortunately, are not easily accessible to foreign tourists, not honoring Muslim traditions. Here lived the outstanding minds, such as Avicenna (philosopher, scientist, physician), Hafiz (poet, one of the greatest poets of world literature), al-Kashi (astronomer, mathematician, author of the first systematic exposition of the theory of decimal fractions), and many others; first appeared with the features of monotheism religion (Zoroastrianism); There was the largest public education of his time (Akhemenids). In short, Iran has a lot to do and what to see.
