- Haft-e-Tir Square is a central cross section in Tehran's central business district. The square was renamed Haft-e-Tir in the years following the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The square was formally renamed after a bombing on 28 June 1981 (the 7th of Tir 1360 (Hafte Tir - هفت تیر) in the Iranian calendar), a powerful bomb went off at the headquarters of the Iran Islamic Republic Party (IRP) in Tehran, while a meeting of party leaders was in progress. Seventy-three leading officials of the Islamic Republic were killed, including Chief Justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, (who was the second most powerful figure in the revolution after Ayatollah Khomeini at the time). The People's Mujahedin of Iran or Mujahideen al-Khalq is thought to have been responsible for the attack. Previously Haft-e-Tir was known as 25th Shahrivar Square, which was a name given by the former pre-revolutionary Pahlavi government up until the revolution. (en)
