It has become a platform for political expression and activism, promoting the narrative of resistance against injustice. Iran's investment allows it to promote its ideological framework that aligns with the themes of the pilgrimage. By doing so, the pilgrimage becomes a site of collective memory, where shared grievances and aspirations are articulated.
