Can anyone id this for me? I've been through an entire world stamp album and searched for everything I can think of on ebay, and none of the countries seem right. Looks like SE Asia - I was thinking Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, etc. No country name in Roman alphabet. All it has is 1964 - 1974 and obviously (I think) it's a celebration of independence / new regime, etc. Thanks.
The triptych commemorates the 10th anniversary of the publication of "Theses on the Socialist Rural Question in Our Country", also known as "Why Doesn't Our Illustrious Leader Care about Us?" (published posthumously).
This was a tax stamp used on telegrams. Stamps with the same design but different face values were used as "postal tax" or "obligatory tax" on postal items.
I don't know the details for Iran but many countries require tax stamps like this to be added to postal items on certain days.
