Iranian Academic Community Declares Support for Armed Forces, Condemns Zionist Regime in Wake of "True Promise" Operation

In a statement issued by the Public Relations Department of the Institute of Physical Education and Sports Science, and relayed by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, the Iranian academic community has expressed its unwavering support for the country’s armed forces following the historic "True Promise" operation. The statement, infused with religious and patriotic fervor, marks a significant moment in Iran’s stance against what it describes as the "cancerous tumor" of the Zionist regime in West Asia.

The statement begins with a Quranic verse (Surah Al-Imran, 126): "And victory is not except from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise," setting a tone of divine reliance and moral conviction. It hails the "True Promise" operation as a pivotal moment in history, igniting a movement to eradicate the "usurping Zionist regime" and bringing joy to freedom-loving people worldwide, particularly Muslims.

The academic community, aligning itself with the "noble and martyr-nurturing" people of Iran, extended its gratitude to the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and the brave defenders of the nation. The statement condemned the "heinous and child-killing" Zionist regime for its numerous crimes, including the attack on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, which resulted in the martyrdom of Iranian military commanders, advisors, and nuclear scientists.

In a show of solidarity, the statement declared full support for Iran’s armed forces, expressing hope for the imminent destruction of the Zionist regime and the liberation of the holy city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem). It concluded with a prayer from the 27th supplication of Sahifa Sajjadiyya, invoking divine protection for Muslim borders and strength for their defenders.

This declaration underscores the deep-seated ideological and political alignment between Iran’s academic institutions and its national security objectives, reflecting a broader narrative of resistance and solidarity in the face of perceived external threats. The statement also highlights the role of academia in shaping and reinforcing national discourse on critical geopolitical issues.
