Culture minister appreciates art and culture figures’ display of solidarity with homeland

TEHRAN – The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, in response to the Zionist regime’s attacks on Iran, said in a message: “In recent days, we witnessed a display of solidarity and unity from the cultural, literary, artistic, and media communities with their motherland. The intellectuals of culture and art, like other Iranians, once again demonstrated—by setting aside differences in taste, criticism, and disagreement—that their hearts beat for Iran during historic turning points. Their pens, thoughts, and creations became weapons in service of national unity and the strength of this sacred soil”.
