Our aim of setting up this festival is similar the Sacred Defense objectives: to enhance spirit of resistance among the public and to safeguard people’s spiritual ideals.”? He added “Iranian war journalism is one of its kinds; because war is generally a detested phenomenon in the world and all writers and journalists are against it, but the 8-year Iran-Iraq war was of a defensive nature and brought us glory. Therefore war correspondents and writers here are proud of our sacred defense and have turned the so-called literature of Sacred Defense into a strong literary genre”?. This member of the main council of sacred defense correspondents and journalists urged the authorities to pay more attention to sacred defense journalists, so that this generation of war journalism in Iran doesn’t die out.
