The statement comes as the U.S.-Israeli-backed terrorists instigated riots on January 8 and 9 amid the economic protests of the Iranian people in some parts of the country. The terrorist agents brought the protests into violence that claimed lives of hundreds of Iranian civilians and security personnel.
Here is attached the full text of the statement:
We, faculty members of Sharif University of Technology, believe the current trajectory of the United States’ foreign policy has crossed beyond the bounds of international law. These policies are not merely a challenge to the security of Iran as an independent state; they represent a profound threat to international peace and the global order.
The United States has opened new horizons for state-sponsored violence through the assassination of scientists, the abduction of officials, and the legitimization of aggression against civilian populations. This school of thought, in its own omnipotence, has led the American leadership to dismantle international institutions and norms, resulting in the death of countless innocent people
worldwide.
From the ruins of Gaza and Yemen to the besieged sovereignty of Venezuela and Libya, the imprint of this destructive doctrine is undeniable. This represents a deliberate degradation of the international system from a state of civil society to
a Hobbesian state of nature, where raw power and escalating violence replace law and dialogue.
The policies being deployed against Iran’s nation— overt military intimidation, covert operations, and economic strangulation designed to incite internal fragmentation —demand global attention and resistance now, before another region or nation would be ruined by the consequences of the U.S. imperial aggression.
We recognize a universal human responsibility. We must all—irrespective of our differing political beliefs—work to inform the global publics about the catastrophic consequences of these malicious policies. We must unequivocally condemn this pattern of intervention and violence.
As scholars and citizens of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, we call for the mobilization of all national, regional, and international capacities to resist complicity with these inhumane policies.
We must unite to prevent the world from descending further into a state where might makes right
and where powerful actors are free to act without law or limits.
Our stance is one of the principles in defense of human dignity and a just world order. We stand in solidarity with all peoples who are threatened by the lashes of unrestrained power and violence, conscious that in our own homeland, Iran, the time for vigilance and collective action is now.
