With the efforts of Ebrahim Bahmani and the approval of Vahidi, the Minister of Interior, the village of Shirinu became a city.[5]
Etymology
editThe name "Shirinu" is associated with the ancient port of Thalath, recognized historically during the Safavid period, as well as being known for three golden palm trees that produced exceptionally sweet dates. This port has significant cultural and historical value.[citation needed]
