@arkid15r You're welcome.
But note that some events in Iran are based on the Gregorian calendar and others are based on the Islamic calendar.

In addition, can I add events of Iran in Persian language (fa-IR)?
I haven't used your library yet and I don't know if it has language capability or not.

Yeah, that's fine. We have countries that use multiple calendars for their holidays.

In addition, can I add events of Iran in Persian language (fa-IR)?

Yes, it's possible to localize holiday names. The original holiday names should (preferably) be in country's official language which I believe fa_IR actually is.

This is great. 👍
In what format should I send events? I need a template.
Do you agree with posting a comment on this issue?

[arkid15r]

Normally, when a person volunteers to add a new country holidays support it goes straight to the library code of the new country (see #1168 as one of the most recent examples). If a country support has already been implemented the l10n process requires regular .po files like this one. You can find some additional info here.

Posting the original holiday names here would of course be appreciated but does not guaranty adding them to the python-holidays until somebody implements the code.

I hope I interpreted your questions correctly.

Implemented in #1409
