Sources: Press TV and Iran public holidays. Government spokesman, Gholam Hossein Elham, announced last night that the upcoming Eid al-Fitr public holiday would be a one-day public holiday, instead of the 3-day public holiday many had expected (and had been suggested by the Minister of Education, speaking to reporters, earlier this month).In addition he stressed that "any day which is verified as Eid Al-Fitr, will be an official holiday", which could mean that with the upcoming public holiday set to occur on Friday October 12 (since Iran observed Quds Day, last Friday, October 5), and the Iranian weekend being Thursdays and Fridays, Iranian may not get any additional time off on account of this public holiday.
