Persian Gulf National Day is celebrated on the 10th of Ordibehesht in the Iranian calendar, which usually falls in late April or early May. It commemorates the expulsion of the Portuguese from the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf in 1622 by the Safavid forces led by Imam Quli Khan under the command of Shah Abbas I.
