Supreme Leader Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s Nowruz speech to be given on March 20

Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei will address the nation on the occasion of the Persian New Year at Imam Khomeini (ra) Hussainiyah in Tehran on March 20.

Due to Nowruz [the first day of the Iranian New Year] falling in the holy month of Ramadan, Imam Khamenei’s Nowruz speech on March 20, 2024 will not be held in the holy shrine of Imam Reza (pbuh) in Mashhad this year.

This ceremony will be held on Wednesday, the first of Farvardin, 1403 AHS (March 20, 2024), in the Imam Khomeini (ra) Hussainiyah in Tehran in the presence of various walks of the people.

It is worth noting that in the early 70s (1991 – 1993 AD) when Nowruz fell in the holy month of Ramadan, as well as during the Corona pandemic, the Leader of the Revolution did not give his New Year speech in the holy shrine of Imam Reza (pbuh) either.
