Iran-IRGC Marine Parade Commemorating Persian Gulf National Day, Bushehr - 29 Apr 2024
Two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy warships and Basij paramilitary force speed boats are participating in the IRGC marine parade to commemorate the Persian Gulf National Day, near the Bushehr nuclear power plant in the seaport city of Bushehr, Bushehr province, in the south of Iran, on April 29, 2024. Persian Gulf National Day is celebrated on the 10th of Ordibehesht in the Iranian calendar, which usually falls in late April or early May, to commemorate the expulsion of the Portuguese from the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf in 1622 by the Safavid forces led by Imam Quli Khan under the command of Shah Abbas I.
