The organization's works have been described as irritating government of Hassan Rouhani and reformists, anti-Iran deal, anti-American, and subject to Holocaust denial.
Owj organization seems reluctant to provide details about its owner or corporate structure. Its website "About Us" section reads: "Perhaps more important and better than knowing when Owj was established and who were its founders, … it is better to introduce its nature and identity". The organization has been claimed to have ties with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; In 2018, Hatamikia claimed so, too.

Short animation

  • Becharkh ta Becharkhim : Roughly translated as 'two can play that game', the animation aired on state-run TV's children's channel IRIB Children symbolically narrates the "honorific" Iran's nuclear program and the "desperate" negotiations from its own point-of-view. The animations depictates Mr. Sam as the villain and characters loosely based on Iranian figures, who are members of the family of "Agha Joon", such as the compromiser "Uncle Hassan", the persevering "Uncle Mahmoud" and the coward "Uncle Mohammad". The animation sparked controversy in April 2016.
