Why Mahdi Yarahy Attacked Mohsen Chavoshi?

After the controversial release of the protest music video "Pareh Sang" by Mahdi Yarahy, an Arab-Iranian singer from Khuzestan, and the conflicting news about his ban from singing activities, this singer reacted to the surrounding issues regarding this protest song during an appearance on Radio Tehran/Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He stated that he created a work "shame on war" or "anti-war." Mr. Yarahy then said, "Who is there to say I agree with war? I have no argument with him; I will ban myself from working." In completing his remarks, Mahdi Yarahy referred to the release of this song from the first social trilogy album as "mischief." Farzad Fattahi, a composer and arranger residing in Italy who has collaborated with Mahdi Yarahy on several songs, said there is a difference between mischief and making a mistake. According to Farzad Fattahi, to be present in the music market inside Iran, there is no choice but to "say yes." In this interview, Mahdi Yarahy referred to the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance as the spiritual father of artists and criticized one of Mohsen Chavoshi's pieces, claiming it insults the Arab ethnicity. Farzad Fattahi believes that the incident regarding the protest song "Pareh Sang" had a promotional aspect for the Ministry of Culture. He adds that the Ministry has shown flexibility at times and has not always been strict. Farzad Fattahi refers to the piece "Maslakh" written by Ali Akbar Yaghibar, produced by the cultural section of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, sung by Mohsen Chavoshi.
