In a scathing rebuke, Mohammad Reza Aref, Iran’s first vice president, has publicly denounced the US for allegedly unleashing a devastating “bunker-buster” attack on Sharif University in Tehran, a renowned institution of higher learning.
Aref’s fiery statement, posted on X, lambasted the Trump administration for its apparent disregard for the value of knowledge and education, describing the bombing as a stark manifestation of Trump’s “reckless abandon” and “cultural insensitivity”.
“The notion that science can be reduced to rubble by a single bomb is a gross misconception,” Aref emphasized, drawing on his own experience as a Stanford University-educated engineer. “Our true strength lies not in physical structures, but in the unwavering resolve of our scholars and intellectuals.”
Aref’s impassioned defense of Iranian science and culture was echoed by his assertion that no act of aggression has ever been able to suppress the nation’s innate passion for discovery and innovation. “Science is an integral part of our national identity, and it will not be extinguished by any form of violence,” he declared.
The US has yet to issue a formal response to the incident, which occurred on Monday morning. Sharif University, often likened to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for its contributions to scientific research in Iran, has faced intense scrutiny in recent years, with several of its professors being targeted by allegations of ties to Iran’s nuclear programme.
