Why it matters:
Iran’s continued success in global math competitions highlights its strength in STEM education, especially amid limited international academic exchange opportunities due to the imposed sanctions.
The big picture:
The Iranian team won two golds, three silvers, and one bronze at this year’s IMO. This follows their strong showing at a prestigious pre-Olympiad training camp in China, where they also competed with 32 participating countries.
Officials from Iran’s Ministry of Education praised the students' achievements, calling them “ambassadors of knowledge” and emphasizing the importance of nurturing young talent to advance the country's scientific standing globally.
