National flag and civil ensign

According to Smith (1980) [smi80], " the Revolution which swept Iran in 1979 made no alteration in the national flag and arms up to the time of writing (April 1979)."

State emblem

Similar to the pre-1979 emblem. I guess that the Imperial crown was dropped after the Shah was overthrown.
