The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance stated that if an individual from the cultural and artistic community has made a mistake, the path for return is open.
Mohammad Mehdi Esmaeili, the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, today, Wednesday, October 19th, on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting, told reporters that the toxic media stream associated with foreign services tried to influence the cultural and artistic community by violating sanctities, insulting, and creating heavy media pressure, forcing them to react. Therefore, perhaps some members of the cultural, artistic, and media community were negligent in this toxic atmosphere of widespread enemy media warfare, but the vast majority of artists acted with awareness.
If someone from the cultural and artistic community has made a mistake regarding recent events, the path for return is open, and we are at their service in the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. We hope that after these events, it has been proven to everyone that the enemy seeks to create division in national unity and disrupt the country’s peace.
