Iran strongly reacts to US-Israeli attacks against universities

The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baqaei, has categorically responded to the attacks against Iranian universities, which he said is ‘to cripple the country's scientific foundation and cultural heritage’.

Iran (IMNA) _ Isfahan University of Technology and the University of Science and Technology in Tehran are just two among many universities and research centers deliberately attacked by the aggressors during the past 30 days of their illegal war on the Iranian nation, Baqaei wrote in his X account.

In fact, the American-Israeli aggression against Iran continues to reveal its true objective: to cripple our country’s scientific foundation and cultural heritage by systematically targeting universities, research centers, historical monuments, and prominent scientists, he added.

Countering Iran’s nuclear program and imminent threat were nothing but false pretenses – mere fabrications designed to conceal their real intention, the official said.

The United States and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top military commanders while targeting civilian infrastructure across the country.

More than 85,000 civilian structures have been severely damaged in Iran due to US-Israeli attacks as of March 25, according to the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society.
