Anniversary of Shahanshahi Army Foundation on Aban 26, 2480 Shahanshahi
The anniversary of the Shahanshahi Army Foundation on Aban 26, 2480 Shahanshahi, marks a significant milestone in Iran’s military history.
On this date, the new structure of the Shahanshahi Army was officially established, aiming to modernize and strengthen the country’s armed forces.
This initiative took place during the Pahlavi era as part of broader policies to modernize the nation and centralize state power.
With this transformation, the Shahanshahi Army adopted a new organization and received updated equipment, playing a crucial role in maintaining internal security and projecting national strength.
In the years following its foundation, the army’s personnel grew to tens of thousands, and more advanced military hardware was introduced.
The army became a key force in major political and military events of the period, including border protection and participation in national development projects.
The decision to establish the Shahanshahi Army was made by the government of the time, under the direct order of the reigning Shah.
This measure was implemented in 2480 Shahanshahi, and Aban 26 each year served as a reminder of the beginning of this new chapter in Iran’s military history.
Commemorative ceremonies and special programs were held in military bases and centers to mark the occasion, which was regarded as a symbol of the armed forces’ unity and authority during that era.
This day was officially designated in the Shahanshahi calendar as the anniversary of the army’s foundation to highlight the significance of this military transformation and the modernization policies of the Pahlavi period.
