The Leader of Ummah Imam Khamenei Lauds Iran’s Remarkable Scientific Progress

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei said that Iran has made remarkable technological and scientific achievements during the last three decades despite enemies’ sanctions and pressures against the country.
The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei Sunday night hailed Iran’s progress in various fields of sciences, saying the country’s key role in regional and global developments are proof of its success in the past 30 years.

In relevant remarks, in mid-February, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hailed the young people of the country for their astonishing scientific and technological progress, and said Iran’s scientific production has increased more than seven times during the last 7 years.

“Iran achieves scientific productions, glory and success on a daily basis and the country’s scientific production has grown 7 times during the last 7 years,” Ahmadinejad said, addressing a ceremony to honor Iran’s academic elites in Tehran at the time.

He appreciated the Iranian young people for their efforts and achievements in technological and scientific fields, and said, “If a nation decides to make progress, God will facilitate its move.”

In October, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei hailed the country’s experts and scientists for their strenuous efforts which have resulted in Iran’s rapid scientific advancement, and urged the country’s researchers not to hesitate one moment about continuing their firm movement on the path of progress.

Addressing a large number of young elites in Tehran at the time, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei expressed pleasure in the atmosphere of dialogue and interaction dominating the country’s scientific move and progress, but meantime urged the Iranian scientists to accelerate their efforts.

“Of course there is one concern that a status of satiation and satisfaction will be created due to the country’s rapid scientific move and this is while we are still at the start of the path and this (present) scientific speed should not be decelerated or stopped,” The Supreme Leader underlined.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei said that Iran is lagging behind the world’s top countries in area of science and technology because it had been ruled by dependent, ignorant and autocratic rulers for centuries.

Thus, this wide distance with the world’s top scientific powers and the existence of rather powerful rivals in the region double the necessity for Iran’s accelerated scientific move towards a top position in area of science which deserves the Iranian nation’s prestige, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei added.

Iran has taken wide strides in science and technology, particularly in medical and medicinal fields, in recent years.
