Leader of Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Khamenei urges action against cultural onslaught

Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei has called for wise action against cultural onslaught, warning that imported video games and toys are promoting Western lifestyle in Iran.

“This issue (cultural invasion) must be dealt with through creative efforts and, to that effect, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting and Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance shoulder very heavy responsibility,” Leader of Islamic Ummah said in a meeting with members of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution in Tehran on Tuesday.

The Supreme Leader urged the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to focus on producing books and attractive films, designing useful video games and developing attractive and meaningful toys.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei stated that video games and toys imported from abroad are affecting Iranian youth, juniors and children through promotion of Western lifestyle and behavior.

The Supreme Leader said at least “hundreds” of media outlets across the world are specifically seeking to “influence the mindset and behavior of the Iranian nation.”
