Shohada Square

Tehran, Iran

Martyrs' Square, also known as Shohada Square, is a city square in Tehran, Iran. It was previously known as Jaleh Square, and renamed in memory of the victims (or martyrs/shahids) of the 1978 Black Friday massacre under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shokoufeh Cinema is located on the square. In the context of the 2026 Iran war, the square was bombed in March in part due to the presence of the Tehran Province Electricity Distribution Company.
