Introduction of the new Deputy Press Secretary / Minister of Guidance: “Mehdipour” is a theoretical theorist in the field of media
According to Fars News Agency, Mohammad Mehdi Esmaili, before noon today, Monday (October 10), in a ceremony honoring and introducing the former and new deputies of press and information affairs, appreciating the efforts of Mohammad Khodadi during his tenure in this deputy, said: At the very beginning of his ministry, everyone Friends, I said that we in the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance are like attending two relief events where some people are responsible and others will continue to work.
He continued: “When we sit on this chair, we think of getting up from it one day, and this chair is a temporary place and an opportunity to serve.” In my opinion, these posts are like an hourglass that is decreasing at that time, and for this reason, I ask God Almighty to enable us to perform our duties well during this managerial period.
The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, stating that Mr. Khodadi is an experienced person and has worked well in the field of press, noted: The Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance should be with us, and for this purpose, we issued his sentence as the secretary of the information committee of the National Corona Headquarters.
Ismaili also clarified about Farshad Mehdipour, the new Deputy Minister of Press Affairs: The time for his review and appointment was long and I strongly believed that he would be in this position. From the beginning, we tried to remove the obstacles to employment. His family is the press and he started his career in the field of media and another important feature of him is that he is currently a theoretical theorist in the field of media.
He added: “With the presence of Mr. Mehdipour and Khodadi, we are trying to continue in the field of media space management. At present, we have several assumptions in the field of media.” In the first step, we are facing a full-blown media war, and in the people’s government we fully believe in this issue, and we will use all the media rearrangement and arrangement to deal with this issue. We believe that we are engaged in a massive cultural invasion and program. In the field of media, we are going from defensive to offensive.
A member of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, stating that many provinces are looking to create media spaces, said: “We are looking to create a new media stream at the beginning of the second step of the Islamic Revolution.” Therefore, we consider the importance of the media field both in Tehran and in other provinces, as well as in the international sector.
Expressing the concerns of the print media, Ismaili said: “We are involved in serious issues in support of the print media. By changing the media arrangement and strengthening the media and social networks, the field of print media has naturally faced a new challenge. In our country, paper is a concern for The people of the print media and this issue is being pursued. There have been two violations in this regard, which we are pursuing through the judiciary. Two licenses that have been assigned currency to import paper, but have not been imported.
He continued: “In the next step, we seek to compensate for the need for paper by allocating currency, which in this regard was raised in a meeting with the new head of the Central Bank yesterday, and its work is underway, but most importantly to achieve Self-sufficiency in this area. Last week, we sent a team to Khuzestan to visit the factories there, where a detailed report was prepared and presented. We are currently trying to pursue the issue of self-sufficiency in a meeting with the First Vice President and in cooperation with the Ministry of Silence. Our goal is to make a large part of the paper needs of the people of culture and media self-sufficient by the end of the government. This talent exists inside the country, and this was one of the main programs that I presented to the parliament.
The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance further stated: Mr. Mehdipour needs the cooperation and support of all members of the media to carry out this great mission. The esteemed president does not have a political view and declared from the very beginning that my rival is not the political factions, but my rival is corruption, discrimination and injustice. We follow this slogan in this government, so I did not include political and group issues in any of the appointments.
Ismaili added: “It is true that when I am in this position, I choose some people according to my field of attitude and experience, and it is natural that people who are in line with me are chosen, but this does not mean that we look To be political, I have not been in any political current until today and I tried to elect my managers without looking at the political backgrounds. That’s why we tried to choose the best ones.
He emphasized: It is clear to me that Mr. Mahdipour is a capable person and he certainly has his own political tastes, but in this position he is not a person of political tastes, he will use all the people of thought, culture and media with Sadr.
The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance reminded: In the meeting of the Press Supervisory Board, I also said that we will be bound by freedom of expression. Mr. President, while they were in the judiciary, they withdrew all complaints in the judiciary, which were related to the media, The government followed the same process and advised me to provide a completely free space for the growth and excellence of the media.
In the end, Ismaili thanked the media managers and colleagues of the press deputy and expressed hope that he would have meetings with them at the earliest opportunity.

Referring to the importance of media and cyberspace as one of the concerns of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, he said: “Rearranging the country’s media system will be one of our main priorities and functions in the press and without a doubt, this is important without the participation of media, academics and institutions.” And active and media-related organizations will not be available.
In this regard, the press deputy pointed to the existing restrictions and barriers and added: “Despite such barriers and restrictions, rearranging the country’s media system will not be easily possible.”
According to Mahdipour, our country is currently in a great and pervasive cultural and media war, the consequences of which are felt in society, and the only way to counter this great attack is to rearrange the country’s media system.
He stated that preventing the reduction or loss of media authority is one of the ultimate goals of the press deputy and specified: “The issue of increasing media authority is included in all policies and decisions and we are moving towards it with all our might.”

Khodadi added: “As a member of the great media community of the country, I believe that we have self-sacrificing colleagues in this field, whose sacrifice is rooted in the inner knowledge and belief that they have in the pure Islam of Muhammad (PBUH), their Imam and revolution.”
He said that all of us in different responsibilities should think about serving the people and solving their problems. Kurds should always pay attention to solving the problems of society and serving the people as a principle.
