The Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRCS) was established in 1922 under the name of “Red Lion and Sun Society of Iran” and was recognised by the International Committee of the Red Cross and later was admitted at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (initially known as the League of Red Cross Societies). IRCS is currently the country's main humanitarian organisation and one of 190 members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
