Iran Eid al-Ghadir Festival - Tehran

People attend the state-held event during the Eid al-Ghadir festival in Tehran, Iran, on June 25, 2024. Eid al-Ghadir is a commemorative holiday and is considered to be among the most significant holidays of Shi'ite Muslims and Alawites, as it is believed to commemorate the time when the Islamic prophet Muhammad—according to interpretation in Shia—appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor. Iran is holding snap presidential elections to choose the next president after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. People in Iran are increasingly showing less interest in casting their vote in the snap presidential election scheduled on June 28 after the disqualification of several candidates by the country's religious Guardian Council. Voter turnouts have hit historically low numbers in elections in recent years as Iran's hardliners increasingly interfere by eliminating candidates who have distanced themselves from the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
