IRAN: THE COUNTRY THAT TURNED SANCTIONS INTO SCIENCE.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DSJNLf89e/

For more than 40 years, the We3st has tried to isolate Iran.

Sanctions.

Economic pressure.

Technology restrictions.

Financial blockades.

Because IRÆN said to the West "You can no longer exploit us and enslave us "

But something interesting happened.

Instead of collapsing, Iran made a strategic decision:

If the world will not give us technology… we will build it ourselves.

Let’s look at the facts many people rarely hear.

After the Iranian Revolution, Iran’s leadership realized something critical:

A country that depends on foreign technology will always be vulnerable.

So they made science, research and education a national security priority.

The results are shocking.

Today Iran has:

• Over 2,500 universities and higher education institutions.

• More than 800 research centers

• 36 science and technology parks.

• 400 scientific associations

• Around 4.5 million university students.

This transformation happened largely under sanctions.

In fact, Iran’s university population exploded from about 100,000 students in 1979 to millions today, showing how education became a pillar of national policy.

Iran now produces tens of thousands of scientific papers every year, with Iranian researchers publishing roughly 30,000 international scientific articles annually.

According to scientific rankings, Iranian universities and research institutes now appear among the most cited institutions in the world, placing the country 14th globally for influential research institutions.

Think about that.

A country under heavy sanctions for decades…

Yet still ranking among the world’s scientific producers.

Iran also built major national research institutions such as the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology.

Which develops national strategies in areas like renewable energy, biotechnology and industrial innovation.

In space technology, Iran created the Iranian Space Research Center, established in 2000 to develop satellites and space technologies domestically.

In education and advanced science, institutions like the Institute for Cognitive Science Studies and Imam Khomeini International University were created after the revolution to train new generations of scientists.

The government also designed long-term plans to transform Iran into a knowledge-based economy, increasing spending on research, technology and education.

And the impact is visible.

Iran is now a significant producer of research in:

• Engineering
• Medicine
• Artificial intelligence
• Nanotechnology
• Stem-cell research

Even global rankings show Iranian universities active across 19 major scientific fields, including engineering, chemistry, materials science and medicine.

But the most controversial part of Iran’s development strategy is this:
Self-reliance.

Instead of depending entirely on Western technology companies, Iran invested heavily in domestic industries, scientific training, and indigenous research.

The philosophy was simple:

A nation that controls its science, technology and defense systems cannot easily be dominated.

This strategy helped Iran develop local capabilities in aerospace research, pharmaceuticals, engineering and advanced technologies despite international restrictions.

Whether one agrees with Iran’s politics or not, one historical reality is difficult to deny:

Few countries in modern history have built such a large scientific infrastructure while facing decades of sanctions and isolation.

And that raises a question many people avoid asking:

If a sanctioned country can build thousands of universities, hundreds of research centers, and a major scientific workforce…

What excuse do resource-rich countries without sanctions like Nigeria really have?

Lesson: Terrorists should not be allowed to own nuclear weapons, Simple.

You can't keep screaming "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" and expect them to allow you own nukes, No way. If the next ayatollah put body, him too go collect.

And who is American or ISRAEL to dictate what happens in another man's country. American that is in the west hemisphere is always concerned with what happened in the middle hemisphere. The world doesn't revolve around American, other countries are trying to be self sufficient and not dependent on other countries. CHINA has threatened. Nigeria to switch off it satellite if Nigeria doesn't pay what they owe them.


Guy SMALL IRAN FIGHTING TWO COUNTRIES IS SOMETHING TO BE STUDIED, LET NIGERIA Trt IT LET SEE IF IT SURVIVE ONE DAY.

It won't take US one week to turn Iran to ashes. Dey hype nonsense

It won't take us

It won't take US one week to turn Iran to ashes. Dey hype nonsense

But it has taken the US and Israel combined more than two weeks fighting Iran but still getting their nose bloodied

Yes, Benjamin Netanyahu the murderer of babies, children and women should never have been allowed to have nukes.

No lesson learned

Iran is now a significant producer of research in:

• Engineering

The most senior lecturer in my department in my university in UK is an Iranian

Please tell your Zionists to post a video of Netanyahu first

That what you get when you fight human face war and terrorists war. If it's about erasing the whole country called Iran (people and structure regardless of civilian population) Iran will be ashes in one week tops.

It's only frustration that can lead a touted military power to want to use nuclear weapons to erase a country.

Btw, Why is your Netanyahu hiding if he's not dead?

The best solution to Islamic terrorism is nuclear bomb

Maybe they should stop chanting death to America/isreal…

Imagine one house next street always calling and chanting death on you and your house everyday he wakes up…

Won’t you do something about it ??

Iran also produces terrorists.

In 1953, the US through the CIA, killed Iran's Prime Minister, Mossadegh, because he nationalised all the country's oil assets l. Why will they not chant death to America?

This is not true.
The US did not kill Mossadegh. Infact, he died in 1967 of natural causes, at a ripe old age.

How can we ever get to this level with progreThieves led by Tinubu stealing money that should employ teachers to make education free for all children

People need to be educated about sanctions.

US is only one of the several superpowers in the world. In light of this when the US sanctions a country it doesn’t apply globally.

I don’t know if this post is suppose to attract sympathy but many other nations patronized Iran. China, India, Russia, Some European and African countries.

You choose to hate the US and they refuse to trade with you, that’s morally sensible.

Tinubu has never govern your state... He was voted less than 4 years ago as the president of Nigeria. So face your past and present leaders of your state and region.

Ayédèrú atọhunrinwa governed my state for eight years and has been in control for 27 years with his lootocracy master plan.

In this time, he has failed to deliver a tiny percentage of what progressive UPN governor Jakande did in just four years, before Buhari locked him up for corruption, after the only successful coup against democratic institutions at local, state and federal levels.

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

If you had 10 fingers in one hand wouldn't you also be hiding?

IRAN: THE COUNTRY THAT TURNED SANCTIONS INTO SCIENCE.
