US, Creator of Daesh, to Blame for Shah Cheragh Terrorist Attack
A number of families of the martyrs of the Shah Cheragh terrorist attack, which took place in Shiraz on October 26, 2022, met with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in the Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah in Tehran on December 20, 2022.
During this meeting, the Leader announced that even though this tragic event has caused hearts to grieve, it is an event that will remain permanently in Iran’s history. He emphasized that the terrorist attack has disgraced those who were working behind the scenes of this evil act, referring to the spiteful Americans who are the creators of the Daesh terrorist group. The Leader said, “Cultural and artistic institutions need to pay attention to this event in the same way that they give attention to the Ashura tragedy and other historical events. They need to pass these on to future generations.”
Imam Khamenei considers the assassination of the pilgrims in the Shah Cheragh shrine to be different from other terrorist attacks, stating that it has added to the enemy’s disgrace. He pointed out, “In addition to the murderers and traitors, the main backers and creators of Daesh are also partners in this crime. They lie so much, they are so black-hearted, disgraceful, and hypocritical that they raise the flag of human rights with their words, but in practice, they create dangerous terrorist groups.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution called on cultural and media organizations to produce works of art showing this tragedy and other historical events. He emphasized, “In terms of the media and exposing events, we have had shortcomings in relating events, the history of the Islamic Revolution, and the enemies’ crimes to such an extent that the younger generation does not have much information about past events, including the crimes committed by the MEK [terrorists].”
Imam Khamenei firmly stated that explaining the facts about these events is one of the responsibilities of those who are active in the fields of arts, spreading information, and writing as well as cultural institutions.
