Young, veteran artists creating artwork about “Martyr Leader”​

TEHRAN – A three-day visual art workshop titled “Martyr Leader” was launched on Tuesday at the Art Bureau in Tehran to commemorate the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who was martyred during U.S.-Israeli airstrikes that targeted his office in central Tehran on Saturday.

Emphasizing the artists’ role in critical situations, the workshop hosts young and veteran artists, IRNA reported.

The artworks created at the workshop are to honor the Supreme Leader and his role in supporting authentic art and committed artists.

Ayatollah Khamenei always emphasized the importance of art and culture in the promotion of Islamic Iran in the world.

Artists participating in the specialized workshop, which focuses on the field of painting, will continue working on their artistic creations until Thursday.

Abbas Ganji, Hossein Esmati, Mahboubeh Ghotb, Atiyeh Asghari, Nasser Seyfi, Seyed Abdollah Haji Seyedhassan, Abdolhamid Ghadirian, Mostafa Goudarzi, Seyed Ali Mirfattah, Ali Mohammad Sheykhi, Hossein Eynibakhsh, and Mehdi Farrokhi are the artists taking part in the workshop.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s political role was known around the globe. But to many Iranians, another side of him was equally important: his deep connection to culture, literature, and ideas. For decades, he spoke passionately about books, poetry, and the life of the mind.

Iran and the U.S. had agreed to attend a fourth round of nuclear talks in Vienna next week, following their most serious discussions in Geneva on Thursday. However, the U.S. derailed diplomatic negotiations with Iran just like the previous time in June 2025, launching a bombing campaign against Iran in conjunction with Israel.

The attacks prompted a swift response from the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), with missile and drone launches targeting Israel and several U.S. bases in the region, occurring less than two hours after the strikes.
