What do the three colors of the Iranian flag mean?

What do the colors in the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran represent, or is the "Allah" logo in it taken from the blessed image that the Prophet (PBUH) wrote on the sand?

The flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran has three equal horizontal stripes of green, white and red. These colors were present in the flag before the Islamic Revolution and have not changed.

What does each color symbolize?

The green color of the flag is a sign of Iran's prosperity and reflects the aspirations of the great nation of Iran to have a prosperous and developed country.

The white color of the flag is a sign of the pacifism of the Muslim nation of Iran, which, under the influence of the teachings of Islam, wants peace and tranquility for all people.

The red color is a sign of the strength and stability of the Iranian Muslim nation against aggressors and oppressors and a sign of the Iranian nation's defense of the rights of its borders and beliefs until death.

But after the revolution, instead of the symbol of the lion and the sun, the holy name "Allah" was carved in the middle of the flag with a special design, and the holy slogan "Allah Akbar" was carved twenty-two times around it, which indicates the twenty-second day of Bahman. [1]

However, what is claimed in some sites that the crescents embedded in the name of "Allah" in this logo originates from the auspicious pattern that the Messenger of God (PBUH) drew on the sand many times with his blessed sword as a signature, It is a topic that we did not find in reliable historical and narrative sources and if we come across a credible report in this regard, this answer will be edited.
