Why it matters:
Eslami’s remarks draw attention to Iran’s increasing strength in areas like health, industry, and nuclear technology, signaling a shift from theoretical progress to real-world achievements. This is also a statement of resilience against external pressures that have tried to hinder Iran’s scientific growth.
The big picture:
At the specialized laser science event, Eslami stressed that Iran no longer lags behind the world's advanced nations in key technological areas. Despite the international pressure, Iran continues to make strides, particularly in health and industry.
The statement reflects self-reliance and growing global standing, despite the challenges faced. The event presented Iran's latest achievements, and several memorandums of understanding (MoUs) were signed, further demonstrating Iran’s expanding role in laser technologies and their applications across medicine, industry, and research.
What he’s saying:
In his address, Eslami pointed out that the core missions of the AEOI have evolved. “We no longer face a significant gap between us and the world’s most advanced countries,” he stated. “In many cases, we are progressing alongside them, step by step.”
He particularly highlighted Iran’s accomplishments in health and industry, saying, “We don’t just talk about progress anymore; we have a real position in the products and services we offer.”
Eslami also acknowledged the intensity of pressures against the country but noted that they have not been able to halt Iran’s growth. “This anger shows that none of the actions they have taken have been able to stop the growth and progress of our nation," he said.
