Chaharshanbe Suri (Persian Fire Festival) Celebrated in Qazvin Amid Conflict

Video footage shows Chaharshanbe Suri celebrations in Qazvin, Iran. The video was recorded on Tuesday, 26 Esfand (March 17, 2026) — the eve of the last Wednesday of the Persian year, when Iranians traditionally celebrate the ancient fire festival by jumping over bonfires. The celebrations appear to be continuing despite the ongoing military conflict.
