A convoy of the lovers of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam, from all provinces across Iran is moving on the Bandar Imam Khomeini route towards the city of Shalamcheh on the border with Iraq.
Millions of pilgrims have set off for the 80-kilometer-long Arabeen from the Iraqi holy city of Najaf to Imam Hussein’s shrine in Karbala, to mark the 40th day after the martyrdom of the third Shia Imam over 14 centuries ago.
Below are some of the pictures of the pilgrims in southern Iran before crossing the border into Iraq.
