Kneel Before Iranians: A Modern Spectacle of Ancient Pride

A few days after the horse parade, a new statue of Arash the Archer—an emblem of sacrifice and patriotism in Persian mythology—was installed in Vanak Square. This act was intended to reinforce the campaign’s core message of endurance and unity. Following this, plans were announced to erect a monumental statue depicting the capture of Valerian by Shapur I in Enghelab Square, turning the site into a visual reminder of a moment when the West bowed before Iran.
