"In that condition, they would know that Iranian people on one hand are Pacifist and on the other hand are brave and ready to defend their country", Ali-Asgari noted after the inauguration ceremony of launching iFilm2 TV channel on Saturday.
"IFilm2 is a belt connecting the region’s Persian-speaking countries and nations,” Ali-Asgari concluded.
The IRIB chief said it was hoped that the channel serves as a barrier against the Western cultural inroad into the region.
The inauguration ceremony took place on Saturday in the presence of Abdol-Ali Ali-Asgari, the head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), and Peyman Jebelli, the head of the IRIB’s World Service, as well as Mahdi Mojtahed, iFilm director.
