This realization has not escaped the anxious guardians of the Islamic Republic. For instance, the Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, attacked the series in a report, stating: “Tasiyan ostensibly aims to depict the social atmosphere of Iran on the eve of the Islamic Revolution but presents a distorted and biased narrative of that era.”

The IRGC-affiliated outlet also claimed: “The series, by ignoring many historical realities, engages in whitewashing SAVAK, promoting an aristocratic lifestyle, distorting revolutionary struggles, and biased character portrayal.”

Fars further alleged: “Characters representing monarchist tendencies are depicted as deep, multidimensional, intelligent, and driven by complex motives, while opponents of the regime are portrayed as emotional, thoughtless, shallow, or caricatured.”
