about Italian flag

 

a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills, white, the snow-capped Alps and red, blood spilt in the Wars of Italian Independence.

A more religious interpretation is that the green represents hope, the white represents faith and the red represents charity

Iranian flag

Iranian flag is like Italian consists of the same colors (Green, White, and Red) but in horizontal not vertical. The central sign has changed after Islamic Revaluation and it’s a religious sign to mean “God is great” or “There isn’t any other god than Allah”.

And in general green means to greenery and friendship, white to peace or friendship (derived from Zoroastrian’s sign) and red to blood of martyrs.

In last Presidential Election in Iran, Iranian flag was sign of Ahamdinejad and their gang and elsewhere Green was sign of Mousavi.
