Students at Razi University in Kermanshah walks out during Hossein Saffar Harandi´s speech.

Saffar Harandi is a former Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Iran.

As Iranian Minister of Guidance and Culture, Mohammed Hossien Saffar Harandi, had 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. One result was the composition and production of a "nuclear symphony" in support of Iran's right to develop a nuclear program for peaceful purposes.
