Quds Day Amidst War in the Middle East... A Global Identity of Muslim Unity and Resistance Since 1979

Quds Day, observed on the last Friday of Ramadan, highlights Muslim unity and resistance amidst ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

Quds Day, celebrated on the last Friday of Ramadan and referred to as Quds Day in Iran, is set to be observed on March 13, 2026, amidst heightened tensions and conflicts in the Middle East. The day is significant as rallies and demonstrations gain prominence due to regional politics. Events are planned not only in Iran but also in countries like Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, India, and several European nations, showcasing widespread support for Palestine.

In Iran, major cities including Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Qom, and Tabriz are expected to witness large rallies. The largest of these demonstrations is anticipated to be a march from Tehran University to Azadi Square. However, the current security situation in Iran is challenging, raising concerns about public gatherings. Thousands, if not millions, are expected to turn out for these events, where speeches are delivered from prominent platforms, highlighting solidarity with Palestine.

Additionally, there have been recent political shifts in Iran, particularly with the succession of leadership following the former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, is being considered the new Supreme Leader of the country, which may have implications on Iran's stance and policies regarding regional conflicts and support for the Palestinian cause.
