The statue features representations of several notable historical Iranian figures, including Ariobarzan, Rostam, Surena, Arash the Archer, Mirza Kuchak Khan, and Rais Ali Delvari, alongside Shapur I of the Sassanian era.
The figures are intended to symbolize moments in Iranian history in which foreign invaders were repelled.
City cultural officials stated that the installation seeks to highlight themes of national resilience and collective memory. According to the organizers, the monument references historical narratives in which Iran defended its territorial integrity against external powers.
Officials added that the statue will remain on display at Enghelab Square for now, though discussions are ongoing regarding its possible relocation to a major gateway into the city, where it would be visible to visiting dignitaries and travelers entering Tehran.
