Mehr News: "Tehran centers to host 'Occupation' cartoon exhibition"

The "occupation" of what by whom? Of Palestine by the Zionist entity? Another intriguingly vague item from the Iranian press:
The selected works of the First International Occupation Cartoon Festival will be put on display at Bahman and Madresseh cultural centers on Oct. 18.

The festival was held in Tehran during the Sacred Defense Week (September 22-28).

The 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war is called the Sacred Defense in Iran and the Sacred Defense Week is the annual commemoration of the martyrs and the sacrifices made during the battle.

The Madresseh Cultural Center will play host to the chosen cartoons by Iranian participants while the Bahman Cultural Center showcases the foreign works until Nov. 1.

The festival was cosponsored by Iran’s House of Cartoon, the Foundation for the Preservation and Publication of Sacred Defense Works and Values, and the Visual Arts Office of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
