Fri Dec 20 17:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Yalda Night Brings Rumors of Saturday Holiday, but No Official Announcement Yet
**Tehran, Iran** – As Iranians celebrate Yalda Night, a surge of online speculation claims Saturday, December 23rd, 2024 (the 1st of Dey 1403 in the Iranian calendar) will be a public holiday. This is fueled by the coincidence of Mother’s Day falling on Sunday, December 24th.
However, no official announcement confirming a Saturday holiday has been made by the government. Currently, Saturday remains a working day.
While no nationwide holiday is planned, the possibility of school and office closures in some cities due to air pollution and energy conservation measures remains, similar to the previous week. Any potential closures this weekend would be solely attributed to these environmental concerns.
This website will provide updates on any official announcements regarding potential Saturday and Sunday closures in Tehran and other cities across the country.
