MNA – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei has urged movie producers, directors, and actors to be vigilant about the enemies’ soft war.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a letter sent to movie producers, directors, and actors after a recent meeting with them.

In the letter, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed “the enemies’ soft war is undeniable,” adding “in this war, artists and scholars should act like armed forces.”

“Defending the greatness of Iran, Iranian culture, Iranian families, Iranian nation’s glorious movement...is not possible only through giving lectures and writing. Art must play a senior role.”

“In this vein, films and series play a prominent role,” the Leader of the Islamic Revolution underlined.

He further called on the Iranian artists to address national issues in TV series; "talk about our beloved martyrs, Holy Defense, about the Revolution, Islamic lifestyle, about the faith of the nation and its manifestations, their resistance against super criminals and the corrupt people of the world, Arbaeen precessions… Express the greatness and independence and courage and the scientific and practical potentials of this nation through the language of art," he added.

Ayatollah Khamenei further maintained that proper and artistic addressing of these issues would be tremendously appealing to the audience in other countires and among other nations.
