WANA (Mar 31) – Officials from Iran’s academic institutions have issued a joint statement in response to the crackdown on protesting students in the United States, declaring that Iran stands with them and that the country’s universities are open to these students.

 

Following the suppression and expulsion of students protesting against Israeli actionsIsraeli actions from U.S. universities, three Iranian academic officials condemned the move in a joint statement and reaffirmed the Islamic Republic of Iran’s support for these students. The statement—signed by Hojatoleslam Abdolhossein Khosropanah, Secretary of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution; Dr. Mohammadreza Mokhber Dezfouli, President of the Academy of Sciences of Iran; and Dr. Seyed Alireza Marandi, President of the Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences—emphasized Iran’s readiness to admit these students.

 

The Iranian academic officials highlighted the true face of so-called human rights advocates and stressed the need to support those who fight for freedom, portraying Iran as a haven for seekers of justice and truth.

 

The statement, released in both Persian and English, was made public to inform global audiences and international academic institutions. The full text of the letter is as follows:

 

“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful”

 

The acts of global arrogance in suppressing justice-seeking students and expelling them from American universities after their peaceful protests against the atrocities committed by the Zionist regime against the oppressed people of Palestine have further unveiled the true nature of those who claim to advocate for human rights.

 

The Islamic Republic of Iran, as the home of justice and truth, takes pride in extending its support to the aforementioned students. The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution of the I.R.I., in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences of the I.R.I. and the Iranian Academy of Medical Sciences, facilitates the admission of the expelled students into Iranian universities.
