IRAN Chaharshanbe Soori is a traditional Iranian festival celebrated on the night before the last Wednesday of the Persian solar year, which means it usually falls on the Tuesday night before Nowruz (Persian New Year).

This holiday is an ancient Persian tradition during which people light fires and jump over them, wishing each other health and happiness for the new year. The celebration symbolizes cleansing from negative energy and welcoming spring.

During the celebrations of Chaharshanbe Soori, in addition to the traditional fire-jumping, fireworks are often used to add spectacle to the event. However, this also poses a significant risk. In Iran and other countries where this festival is observed, many injuries occur every year due to improper handling of explosives and firecrackers. The most common injuries include burns, hand and eye injuries, and in some cases, even amputations or fatal accidents. Despite warnings from authorities and efforts to regulate the use of fireworks, many people, especially young individuals, attempt to use illegal and dangerous types of pyrotechnics, leading to a dramatic increase in hospitalizations in the period before Nowruz.
