Iranian Minister of Guidance and Culture, Mohammed Hossien Saffar Harandi, has a negative opinion of music. When he assumed his post, he stated that one of the first issues that he would combat would be the types of music that are against the values of the Republic of Iran, including rock and rap. He called upon Iranian musicians to produce purposeful and meaningful music, thus some of them produced a 2nuclear symphony" that supports Iran's right to develop a nuclear program for peaceful purposes.[1]
