A Strong Iran Is Built with a Strong University: The World Owes Iranian Civilization

The First Vice President, stressing the country's deep historical and cultural roots, stated: We are not a country of a few decades that they can come and take our oil and then kick us. We are a civilization thousands of years old.

According to Ambassador Arjan Mohammad Reza Aref, in a meeting with a group of science and technology elites of the country, he called Iran the only great patriotic and Islamic civilization that has the power and will to defend its historical identity and stated: the enemies along the dozens of wars that they have imposed on this country throughout history and each time separated a piece of Iran's pure soil, are basically seeking to fragment this geography and destroy the civilization of several thousand years after the arrival of Islam. The peak of growth has arrived.

Pointing to the inefficiency of the past rulers and the dependence of some countries in the region, he added: "Some indolent and dependent monarchies took the glory and greatness from Iran with their corruption and weakness, and for a long time they had accustomed the world that with every aggression, a part of the country's soil would be separated." On the other hand, the weak rulers of some Islamic countries, contrary to the wishes of their nations, have led the West to the false belief that the Middle East should be their "milking cow" without recognizing any identity, personality, or independence, with successive dependence and ransom.

The phoenix-like resurrection of Iran; The world owes our civilization

Emphasizing the historical and cultural depth of the country, the first vice president stated: We are not a country that has been around for decades and they come to take our oil and then kick us. We are a thousand-year-old civilization that has conquered every aggressor from Alexander and the Mongols with our science, literature and culture and finally defended our identity and rose again like a phoenix from the fire of events.

Aref continued: This is the land of science and culture and the cradle of Bu Ali Sina, Khwarazmi, Biruni, Khwaja Nasir and Farabi. The world is indebted to Iranian civilization; Therefore, this time, the nation, the government and the system of the Islamic Republic are standing on behalf of all Iran-friends who have stood firm in history to return the historical glory to the country and not allow blackmail to the rulers.

science and technology; The only way to create a "strong Iran"

The first vice president continued, emphasizing the long-term strategy of Imam Khomeini (RA) of prioritizing knowledge and research, and said: If we want economy, security, progress and prosperity, we must adhere to the strategy of science and technology development. Intelligent and literate human capital is our biggest advantage to build a strong Iran.

Recalling the country's defense achievements in the "Ramadan War", he noted: In the Ramadan War, everyone saw how scientific advances in the defense industry came to the aid of the field front, and we were able to directly face America and the barbaric Zionist regime for the first time and break their false pride. The front of science and technology is rapidly moving forward, and the enemies know that if they make a mistake, this time they will receive a much stronger and stronger response.

Extension of knowledge in oil, gas and economy/ the central role of the university in governance

Aref considered the main strategy of the 14th government to be tying knowledge to all executive departments of the country and emphasized: the development of science and technology should come with the help of all areas including oil, gas, medicine, economy and energy.

In the end, referring to the fundamental role of the university institution in the future of the country, he noted: "A strong Iran" is built with a "strong university". Because a strong university trains a strong manager, a strong expert and a strong researcher, and its output will be authority and all-round development for Islamic Iran.
