In the past several weeks, in many official occasions in which high-ranking officials were present, posters of the Iranian flag were shown with illegal colors! At some official meetings, the green part of the flag was blue! Of course, officials from the Presidential Office claimed it was due to the reflection of the light. They even stated that they have the banner to prove it. So, where did the black color covering the green part of the flag come from? Is it again the reflection of the light that changed the green to black?
