Margins

[edit]

Recently,[when?] an Iranian film had a focus about supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran argued with the film's actors at the time of its release. Amirghasemi supported the actors who played in the film and had protestors attack his personal page on Instagram and Facebook.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][excessive citations]
