]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – President Hassan Rouhani said Saturday that Iran will hold Quds Day rallies and Eid al-Fitr prayers in compliance with health protocols set to combat the COVID-19 outbreak.

Addressing the National Headquarters for Managing and Fighting the Coronavirus in Tehran, Rouhani said that Eid al-Fitr prayers, which mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, will be held in religious centers across the country, Press TV reported.

He added, however, that the prayers will only take place in local religious centers as opposed to major prayer grounds where worshippers usually convene in each city to mark the event.

The president said that Quds Day will also be commemorated in “white” regions where the coronavirus has not deemed a threat.

He added that Quds Day will be organized without its usual annual rallies and will instead be held within the perimeters of Friday prayers, with health protocols set by health ministry.

Rouhani exempted the capital Tehran from the plan, where a drive-in march will be staged to honor the Quds Day event.

“It will be a symbolic measure using vehicles and it will be organized by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC),” he said.

As a legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini, Quds Day has been designated on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan to mark worldwide Muslim solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

The event was commemorated every year with major rallies across Iran and beyond.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Countrywide demonstrations marking this year’s International Quds (Jerusalem) Day will be canceled in Iran due to the coronavirus outbreak, an official said, noting that the event is going to be commemorated with other methods.

Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, head of the Intifada (Uprising) and Quds Center at Iran’s Islamic Propagation Coordination Council, General Ramezan Sharif, said this year’s Quds Day rallies won’t be held since the situation is not normal in the wake of the outbreak of COVID-19.

As many religious sites have been closed and religious ceremonies have been shelved, the Quds Day rallies will not be held this year, he said, adding that a series of other programs will substitute the rallies.

The general also noted that Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei is going to deliver a speech on the International Quds Day (May 22), and that the organizers of the event will also take advantage of the media and receive messages from anti-Israeli resistance officials.

He said Ismail Haniyeh, the chief of the political bureau of Islamic resistance movement Hamas, or another major figure of resistance will possibly take part in the Quds Day commemorations in Tehran as a guest.

The International Quds Day is an annual event during which demonstrators express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposition to the occupation of the Palestinian territories by the Zionist regime of Israel.

The day is seen as the legacy of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, who officially declared the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day back in 1979.
