In recent years, the activities of this music group have predominantly been political. They have focused on criticizing the Iranian government and its suppression of public protests. The members of Moltafet frequently address social and political issues through their music. This has led to some of their works facing restrictions and bans from the Iranian authorities.[8][12][14][15][16][17]
