Mohajerani, the government spokesperson, answered journalists' questions at a press conference, and during part of this session, he engaged in a football banter. This meeting was defined as an opportunity for journalists to express their opinions and criticisms, as well as to showcase the humor and wit of the spokesperson.
Response to the journalist's criticism
One of the journalists criticized Mohajerani during his question, asking why he hadn't congratulated Esteghlal's victory. Referring to Esteghlal's good game last night, he said to Mohajerani: "Why didn't you congratulate them?" Mohajerani replied with a smile: "This is part of the sports humor of the spokesperson's session. After all, we are here to answer questions and criticisms, and these football discussions are also part of the prevailing atmosphere in society."
Social and cultural impacts
This football banter actually reflects the deep impacts of football on the daily lives of people and society. Football is not just a sport; it is a social and cultural issue that can bring people closer together. Every victory or defeat of popular teams can evoke various emotions and reactions among fans. Mohajerani, with his response, showed that he is aware of these issues and tries to address tensions and criticisms with humor and wit.
Alongside this banter, topics such as the fuel quota for newly registered vehicles and the issuance of motorcycle licenses for women were also raised in this session. Mohajerani answered these questions as well and emphasized that they do not take any action without informing the public. These statements reflect the government's approach to transparency and communication with the people.
The government spokesperson also referred to issues such as lifting the ban on government agencies' activities on foreign messaging apps and stated that this decision could help improve communications and facilitate work. However, he also emphasized that the publication of administrative correspondence remains prohibited, and this decision was made to ensure information security.
