Iran’s President’s Oath on the Holy Quran

One of the unique features of the inauguration ceremony in Iran is the President taking an oath on the Holy Quran. This tradition highlights the importance of religion and commitment to Islamic values in the country.

 

In some other countries, the President takes an oath based on the constitution or their sacred book, but in Iran, this oath on the Quran signifies the deep connection between religion and politics.
