The statement accompanied by the ongoing petition reads:

“We, artists of Iran, from various backgrounds and ideologies, condemn terrorism in all shapes and forms. The new conflicts generated by the US government which serve to reinstate destruction and bloodshed in the Middle East/Western Asia region, expand the sales of weapons and destroy the human and material resources of innocent nations are rebuked and denounced by the entirety of the free world.

By condemning the terrorist attack that resulted in the martyrdom of Major General Qassem Soleimani, we ask all intellectuals, artists, and peace-lovers in Iran, the region, and across the world to show, in their actions, that there can be no excuse for the justification of terrorism in the world; terrorism is denounced.”
