Saffron Harvesting in The Village of Vamenan - Iran

Farmers walk in a saffron field in the village of Vamenan in Golestan Province, Iran, on October 23, 2023. Vamenan is known as the “red gold hub” of the province due to its saffron cultivation. Nearly 400 hectares of saffron are cultivated in this village. In 1993, Mohammad Ahmadi, the village's cleric resident, was the first person to plant saffron bulbs in Vamenan. By encouraging the people, he transformed the village and the region's economy. Photo by Morteza Aminoroayayi/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Despite losing both legs and several family members to explosions, he continues to volunteer in mine removal. Locals call him “man of the mines,” and he is building a museum in his village to display defused explosives for future generations. Photo by Showan Sulaiman/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
