Behesht-e Zahra

Behesht-e Zahra (Persian: بهشت زهرا [beˈheʃtʰe zæhˈɹɒː]; lit. 'Paradise of Zahra') is the largest cemetery in Iran. Located in the southern part of metropolitan Tehran,^[1] it is connected to the city by Tehran Metro Line 1.

In the early 1950s, all the cemeteries in Tehran were supposed to be replaced by several large new ones outside the then precincts of the capital. Behesht-e Zahra was built in late 1960s on the southern side of Tehran towards the direction of the city of Qom and opened on 29 June 1970 by mayor of Tehran, Gholamreza Nikpey.

Many of the deceased soldiers of the Iran–Iraq War were buried in the martyrs' section of the cemetery.^[2][3][4]

In 2025, satellite pictures emerged showing the cemetery's Lot 41, where victims of mass executions that occurred following the Iranian Revolution are buried, being paved over and converted into a parking area.^[5]
