Iran's Supreme Leader: Strong Iran rests on scientific, technological power

[IRNA] Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei said in a message to elites and medalists in scientific and sports fields at international arenas that elites, young people and the new generation achieving accomplishments in science and sports play a unique role in spreading hope and boosting the country's progress and vitality, according to IRNA. Khamenei described elites' crossing of scientific boundaries as the key to strengthening Iran's power and stressed that the country's progress, within the framework of the supreme strategy "Science is Authority," requires a deep and accelerated scientific movement. He said officials, while providing the infrastructure and conditions needed for this scientific leap, must make maximum use of the individual capabilities and collective wisdom of elites.
