Iranian President thanked the nation that has cooperated and observed health protocols strictly alongside their religious practices on the Laylat al-Qadr ceremonies.
Hassan Rouhani announced the holding of the International Quds Day in Tehran by marching cars and emphasized, "The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) is supposed to be responsible for this symbolic ceremony and people can attend Quds Day demonstrations by riding their cars."
"A car march will be held in Tehran under the supervision of the IRGC to mark Quds Day," Rouhani said.
He also announced that the Eid al-Fitr (fasting feast) prayers will be held in the country through observing health protocols, but not in places where large gatherings are formed, such as Mosalla.
He added that after Ramadan, restaurants will be reopened considering some specific protocols, while holly places, such as shrines, will be reopened restrictively for some specific hours.
According to him, Iranian universities will be reopened from June 6.
Tehran Governor-General Anoushirvan Mohseni-Bandpei announced on May 12 that the Eid al-Fitr (fasting feast) prayers will be held in the Iranian capital in case the National Committee on Combating Coronavirus issues the permit.
According to the announcement made by the Head of Islamic Development Organization Hojatoeslam Mohammad Ghomi, all mosques across Iran have been re-opened preserving health protocols under the coronavirus pandemic as of March 12.
As Ghomi informed, the decision for re-opening of the mosques have been made due to the request of Iranian people and following the held talks with officials of the Iranian health ministry due to the order of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about holding the religious ceremonies on the upcoming Laylat al-Qadr nights in Ramadan.
Iran is incrementally reopening its religious places for holding religious ceremonies during Ramadan.
