Colours of the flag
The colours of the Iranian flag are traditional, probably dating from at least the 18th century and they can be interpreted as representing the Islamic religion (green), peace (white), and courage (red). The were first designed in tricolour form in 1907. The flag's centrepiece formerly comprised a lion with a sword standing before a reising sun, with a crown above, but all traditional flags and banners were abolished after the abdication of the shah in 1979.

Writings on the flag
There are Arabic writings in the border line of the stripes. These are 22 copies of the main Islamic phrase Allahu Akbar meaning "God is greater (than everything)". They are written in a beautiful ancient manner dating back to the first centuries of Islam. You can find the same way of writing (which is called Koofi originated from the city of Koofeh, now in Iraq) on the old mosques throughout Iran.

According to the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, number 22 was chosen because the Islamic Revolution (known as 1979 revolution in western chronology) overthrew the previous regime in the 22nd of the 11th month of the Iranian Calendar.
Iranian Calendar is based on Zodiac signs. The year begins in March 21st and the 11th month coincides exactly with Aquarius.
So we have 11 green copies on the top and 11 red copies on the bottom of the white strip.

The phrase Allahu Akbar is also written in a more modern writing on Iraqi flag.
