The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that the terrorist incident of Shahcheragh of Shiraz disgraced the hypocritical and black-hearted Americans, and said: "We are lagging behind in the issues related to the events and history of the Islamic Revolution and the crimes of the enemies in terms of media and propaganda activities."

 "Cultural and artistic institutions should pay attention to this great incident like Ashura and other historical issues and pass it on to future generations."
Ayatollah Khamenei considered the assassination of pilgrims to be different from other terrorist incidents and cause a double disgrace for the enemy and said: "In addition to the murderers and traitors, the main supporters and creators of ISIS are also complicit in this crime. They are so liars, black-hearted, scandalous and hypocrites that they raise the flag of human rights in words, but in practice, they create dangerous terrorist groups."
 
The Supreme Leader recommended the cultural and media institutions to artistic productions regarding this incident and other historical cases and added: "We are lagging behind in media and propaganda work in matters related to the events and history of the Islamic Revolution and the crimes of the enemies, so that our young generation does not have much information about past events, including the crimes of MKOs."
 
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized: "Explaining these facts is one of the duties of the activists of the artistic, propaganda and writing departments and all cultural institutions."
