Iran’s art community condemns Shah Cheragh terrorist attack
The Cinema Organization of Iran and art community strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack on the revered Shah Cheragh Shrine, which occurred on Sunday. This act of terror, which targeted a place of worship and devotion, has drawn worldwide condemnation.
The organization expressed its heartfelt condolences and solidarity with the families of the martyrs who lost their lives in this tragic incident. The statement reads:
“The vile and cowardly assault on the sacred Shah Cheragh Shrine has once again exposed the extent of malice, malevolence, and barbarism harbored by the enemies of this land. This is not the first time that the hands of these adversaries have been stained with the blood of our free compatriots, while the purported champions of human rights remain silent. Over the past four decades, the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran have constantly endeavored to wound the towering tree of our revolution from various angles, but they have always been met with the resilient tide of revolutionary people, retreating in defeat.
The attack on the holy Shah Cheragh Shrine serves as a clear testament to the failure of the deceitful, and inhumane policies of Western leaders who, under the pretense of human rights and peace, resort to violence and crime against the oppressed and noble Iranian nation.
The Cinema Organization of Iran, while condemning this act as an embodiment of the enemies’ eradication schemes against this land and nation, calls upon Iranian filmmakers, artists, and documentarians to portray and depict the dimensions of such crimes, showcasing the authenticity and oppression of the Iranian people in the face of the hegemonic system.”
