At a picture gallery (http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/ImageGroup.aspx?GroupID=25272) of the Young Journalists' Club one can see several pictures showing a flag (http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_25272_54558.jpg and
http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_25272_54562.jpg) that has the same pattern as described by Eugene Ipavec. These pictures were taken on Anno Persarum 1388 (Gregorian Calendar 2009)

On another link (http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/ImageGroup.aspx?GroupID=24852) one can also see the same image as reported above: http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_24852_48147.jpg and http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_24852_48155.jpg). These pictures were taken on Anno Persarum 1388 (Gregorian Calendar 2009).

Finally on another picture gallery (http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/ImageGroup.aspx?GroupID=24697) there are several of these images of the same flag (http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_24697_45855.jpg, http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_24697_45860.jpg, http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/Images/large/File_24697_45866.jpg). These pictures were taken on Anno Persarum 1387 (Gregorian Calendar 2008)

Now, let's take a look at the following images:

Based on the above eight images showing Iranian Police Female Officers being graduated most likely from a Special Operations Unit, I can assume that the flags seen in the picture galleries I posted (http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/ImageGroup.aspx?GroupID=25272 and http://www.yjcphotos.ir/photos/ImageGroup.aspx?GroupID=24852) and the one described by Eugene Ipavec is the Iranian National Police flag.

In Iran, the National Police is under the supervision of the Ministry of Interior of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
