According to a report by Mansour Jahani, an independent and international cinema journalist in Tehran, Asghar Farhadi, a renowned Iranian director and two-time international Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film and other prestigious international awards, called on artists and filmmakers around the world to stop the devastating aggression against Iran and prevent the destruction of civilian infrastructure in the country.
The text of Asghar Farhadi’s request is below:
“I call on artists and filmmakers everywhere in the world to be a voice in these critical days and hours, in any way possible, to stop the destructive aggression that has increasingly destroyed civilian infrastructure.
Infrastructure that belongs to the Iranian people and is related to the basic needs of their daily lives. The destruction of infrastructure is not just the destruction of buildings, it is an attack on human life and dignity.
Attacking a country’s infrastructure is a war crime. Regardless of any beliefs or attitudes, let’s unite to stop this inhumane, illegal, and destructive process.”
