Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic, has urged the country’s citizens to remain on the streets and in mosques, reports CNN.

“Do not leave the streets and mosques for a moment.”

“From today until the end of the war, it is an objective obligation for everyone to be in the mosques, fill the mosques,” he said.

“Our strongholds are the mosques and squares of the city. Every square must be occupied by the people,” CNN quoted the grandson as saying.
