Universities emerge as new frontline in US-Israel conflict with Iran
Bombing of universities by the United States and Israel has been identified as a new frontline in the ongoing conflict with Iran, reports CNN. Iran’s Ministry of Science disclosed that 21 universities have suffered damage since the escalation of hostilities, marking a significant blow to the country’s educational and scientific sectors.
Experts suggest the strikes aim to undermine the intellectual potential of Iran’s population, which ranks among the top ten worldwide in IQ. Activists accuse former leaders Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately targeting Iran’s education system to cripple its scientific and intellectual development.
This facet of the conflict extends beyond conventional warfare, focusing on crippling investments in science and technology that shape the country’s future.
As a result, Iran’s education sector faces long-term setbacks that may hinder its progress and competitiveness on the global scientific stage.
International response to this development is likely to play a crucial role in determining the course of future events in the region.
