The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, appointed 22 members to the main body that determines the cultural policy of Iran.  The body is known as the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution.
Khamenei's decree allows the appointees to serve for three years on the cultural council.  Appointees like Ahmad Jannati, Mir-Hossein Moussavi, and the others are long-time allies of Khamenei.  Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel's daughter is married to one of Khamenei's sons. 
The cultural council has to ensure that Iran can counter the Western culture with Islam and works closely with the Ministry of Islamic Culture and Guidance.
