Obtaining a license

First, in August 2020, it was announced that the Hamrefigh program would be produced and broadcast with the permission of the country's cinema organization (under the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance) But after a while, Satra (the organization for regulating the audio-visual media in cyberspace), which is a subset of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, issued a statement stating that such programs require a license from this institution, and the license that this program received from the cinema organization was considered invalid. Following this, Seyyed Mohammad Mehdi Tabatabai-Nejad, then Deputy Director of Evaluation and Supervision of the Cinema Organization, reacted to Satra's announcement on behalf of this organization and emphasized that the licensing of this program was within the authority of the Cinema Organization. Then the agents of the Hamrefigh Program also applied for permission from the Satra organization The public relations of this organization announced on September 30, 2020 that Hamrefigh (for broadcasting in Namava) along with Dirin Dirin and Vaskhandish programs have received broadcasting licenses. This time it was the turn of the cinema organization, which protested against this issue, considering the request of comrades from Satra as a sign that the permission of the Ministry of Guidance was not taken seriously and in fact it was a kind of disrespect. Finally, in response to these comments, the public relations of the Hamrefigh program announced that the program had been licensed by the Cinema Organization to "make" and to "broadcast" by the Satra Organization, in accordance with the law.
