Iranian Foreign Minister Sends Eid al-Fitr Greetings, Appreciates Support from Indonesian People

Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, extended Eid al-Fitr greetings. He also appreciated the support from Southeast Asian countries, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Araghchi thanked several Asian countries for condemning the aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran. According to him, support from the international community, especially in Southeast Asia, is meaningful to the Iranian people. “Eid al-Fitr Mubarak. Thank you to the governments and Muslim communities as well as justice-loving people in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei) who have condemned the brutal aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Muslim nation of Iran during the month of Ramadan and have shown solidarity,” Araghchi stated in a post on his X account, viewed on Sunday (22/3/2026). As is known, Iran celebrated the day of victory amid a war situation with the United States (US) and Israel. Thousands of Muslims performed Eid al-Fitr prayers in Iran, which fell on Saturday, 21 March 2026. According to AFP, on Saturday (21/3/2026), Iranian citizens performed Eid al-Fitr prayers, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan a day after most other Muslim countries. At dawn, crowds of worshippers gathered at the Grand Imam Khomeini Mosque in central Tehran, named after the founder of the Islamic republic. Due to space limitations, many worshippers performed prayers outside, with state television broadcasting images of the crowded areas around the mosque, despite the risk of attacks. Iranian television also broadcast citizens performing Eid prayers in other parts of the country, including in Arak in the centre, Zahedan in the southeast, and the city of Abadan in the west. For information, Iran’s capital is still being bombarded to this day. Iran has been bombarded almost every day since the joint US-Israel attack initiated the war on 28 February, which killed high-ranking officials, including the supreme leader of the Islamic republic.
