Acting President of Amirkabir University of Technology:
Scientific Progress is the Best Solution to Confront Enemy Attacks

The acting president of Amirkabir University of Technology considered scientific progress as the best solution to confront enemy attacks and stated: "It is through scientific jihad that we can preserve the country's position among the world's nations. Therefore, in this tumultuous and extensive invasion, we must pursue scientific advancement."

According to the public relations office of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Alireza Rahaii, at the ceremony commemorating Basij Week at Amirkabir University of Technology, attended by Dr. Mohammad Ali Zolfigol, Minister of Science, Research, and Technology, Dr. Mohammad Reza Mardani, the head of the Professors' Basij Organization, Hojatoleslam Rajabi, the official representative of the leadership at the university, and Dr. Hossein Nasirzadeh, the commander of the Basij Resistance Center for the Ministry of Science, emphasized that Basij is inspiring for our youth, hopeful for our friends, and intimidating for our enemies. He stated, "These three characteristics are a suitable definition for Basiji, as a Basiji is someone who selflessly sacrifices their life and property in the defense of Islam and the seal of Islam."
He further emphasized: "A blend of rationality with emotion, movement and action with a foundation of thought, and action-oriented idealism are three other characteristics that can be attributed to our Basiji brothers and sisters."

Rahaii emphasized, "Today, the country and the axis of resistance are under conditions of soft war. In the past 50 days, we witnessed an example of the extensive aggression of the arrogance front against the axis of resistance, with Palestine at the forefront. We saw how all the elements of arrogance, led by America and supported by the West, closed their eyes to the atrocities of the child-killing regime and provided comprehensive support to them."

The acting president of Amirkabir University of Technology stated that our country is exposed to soft war and cultural invasion targeting our youth. He added, "In fact, despair is constantly being injected into our youth, to the extent that the atmosphere of despair and lack of attachment to the system are encouraged, and nationalistic sentiments are being driven away from the youth. These conditions create a heavier burden than the era of the Sacred Defense for all of us. Basijis, who were once the defenders of the country and the country's security, must now defend more than ever before and courageously confront these types of invasions."

Rahaii considered scientific jihad as a solution to confront enemy attacks and said: "The Supreme Leader of the Revolution considers scientific jihad and progress as an appropriate strategy to confront the enemy. It is through scientific jihad that we can preserve the country's position among the world's nations. Based on this, in the tumultuous and extensive invasion that is taking place, we must pursue scientific advancement. Therefore, the slogan of scientific jihad is a sacred and great slogan that we must follow."

The acting president of Amirkabir University of Technology emphasized the need to identify our weaknesses in higher education, stating: "We must address these weaknesses and pursue a leap in scientific progress. I hope that with the efforts of all scientific supporters and Basijis, we can achieve successful progress and fulfill our goals and responsibilities in a desirable manner."
Minister of Science:
Basijis should strengthen national unity / Sometimes their affectionate behavior changes the path of the student



Minister of Science:
Basijis should strengthen national unity / Sometimes their affectionate behavior changes the path of the student

Minister of Science, stating that Basijis should strengthen national unity, said: One of the tricks of our enemies against the Islamic Republic of Iran is to create discord, bipolarity, and multipolarity through national, linguistic, and racial divisions. Basijis should be the axis of unity, friendship, moderation, and dignity and strive for national unity to take shape.

According to the Public Relations of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Mohammad Ali Zolfigol, in the ceremony commemorating Basij Week at Amirkabir University of Technology, while commemorating Basij Week, the memory of the martyrs of the Revolution, and the health and security of the country, expressed: The presence of Basijis in the country's universities is a blessing. They provide sincere, unpaid, and obligatory services, and in such circumstances, we have also witnessed the disrespect towards Basij and Basijis that occurred last year. In fact, these behaviors indicate that Basijis are very effective. Of course, our dear people appreciate Basijis and know that if there is ever a problem for the country, those who defend the honor and dignity of the citizens are the Basijis.

He further stated: Basijis are those who have passed the test. During the Sacred Defense, if there was no Imam's thinking and Basijis did not have a presence, the war would have taken a different turn. The determination, honesty, and sincerity of Basijis led to them not letting the enemy get a foothold on our land with empty hands alongside the army and the Revolutionary Guards. An enemy that was supported by the entire world of arrogance and had access to power, wealth, and deception. The will, sincerity, and purity of the hearts of Basijis led to their victory against all enemies.
Minister of Science, Research, and Technology reminded: Today, the presence of Basijis in the country's universities is an unparalleled blessing for the Islamic Republic. Imam Khomeini emphasized that if officials show negligence towards the Basij, they commit a great injustice and betrayal. We have seen how our enemies have used various tactics to destroy the Basiji mindset and the independence prevailing in the Islamic Republic, the latest of which was the issue of ISIS, where they used various tactics to reduce the influence of the Islamic Republic. Their actions included an attack on the Iranian Parliament and the attack on the shrine of Shah Cheragh.

He continued: If the Basiji mindset and approach were not present in the country, it would not have been easy to eliminate ISIS. What has the Islamic Republic done to have such hateful enemies? Except for wanting to be independent, make its own decisions, and not fall under the rule of any dictator and to prioritize independence, freedom, and the Islamic Republic.

Zolfegari recalled: The world of tyranny is making efforts and saying that if the mindset of the Islamic Republic prevails in the world, as a country and system that is a role model, it preserves freedom, is the voice of the oppressed, and supports the weak. It does not fall under the burden of oppression and tyranny, and those who are worried about their own interests if this mindset prevails.
The Minister of Science said: "They claim to be the leaders of the world, and we also believe in the emergence of Imam Mahdi (AJ) who will one day appear and eliminate oppression and tyranny from the world. This is why the enemies do not accept this mindset and do whatever they can to oppose it."

Zolfegari emphasized: "The role of academic supporters and professors within the Basij is more sensitive compared to other members of society. We are dealing with those whom we want to entrust with the future of the country, and it is expected that they, who are the future builders, will come out of universities. The right approach and educational perspective will teach students how to be in the future, and a compassionate interaction with a student can be replicated. A hopeful and nurturing attitude can change the path of a young person."

The Minister of Science added: "Academic supporters and professors in universities have the power to change the path of an individual with proper interaction and solving a student's problems. If we see students making mistakes, we should help them in a fatherly, brotherly, and sisterly manner and not let them suffer. We should treat the people's children as our own and pledge to be their guides and protectors. Sometimes, a word of encouragement or advice can change the course of a student's life."

He continued by stating that the benevolent Basij members are those who devote their time and honor to society, and we must appreciate them. The beloved martyrs will surely appreciate the Basij members who are the benefactors of society.
Zolfegari added: "One of the tricks of our enemies against the Islamic Republic of Iran is to create discord, bipolarity, and multipolarity through national, linguistic, and racial divides. Basij members should be the axis of unity, friendship, kindness, and decency and strive for national unity. In fact, a Basiji is a mine of love, kindness, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Wherever we see whispers of discord taking shape, we should be sensitive and not allow this to happen."

The Minister of Science stated that in today's world, unlike the past, conventional warfare and armed conflicts do not make sense. He said: "Today's world does not accept war and peace at a high cost, but rather the world changes minds and cultures through soft warfare, meaning through media and cyberspace. Considering that the greatest asset of any country is its culture, and when the culture changes, so does the thinking, and as a result, the behavior and speech of individuals also change."

He addressed officials and Basij members and pointed out: "If you want to create lifelong investment, reform the culture. Because today, cultural warfare and a new form of country opening are taking place. Today, country opening does not happen with attack, cannons, and tanks, but rather through science, technology, and knowledge. The easiest way to conquer a country is through science and technology, as with the production of new knowledge, we can infiltrate all countries, universities, and even families."

Zolfegari concluded by saying: "Today, the world is seeking country opening through science and technology. Therefore, our perspective on universities, including professors, students, and academic supporters, must change from the government's side. They should know that the best place for investment in the country is universities because through science and technology, we can enhance social capital."
Head of the Professors' Basij of the Country:
4 important priorities of the Professors' Basij of the Country announced

Head of the Professors' Basij of the Country pointed to 4 important and key priorities of the Professors' Basij of the Country and said: Helping to prioritize the improvement of the country's efficient management system, promoting higher education, promoting jihad for explanation and hope, and promoting organizational cohesion and excellence are the four priorities of the professors' Basij in universities that must be implemented.

According to the public relations office of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Mohammadreza Mardani, during the week of celebrating the Basij held at Amirkabir University of Technology, stated that today, more than ever, we are indebted to and beholden to the sacrifices of our beloved martyrs who brought honor to Islam, the Revolution, and the Islamic Republic of Iran through their sacrifices. He said: "Today, the supporters of the Islamic Revolution are increasing around the world. On the last day of Azar in 1367, the last message that the Imam (Khomeini) issued was that the Basij is not limited to Islamic Iran alone; rather, the Basij of the Islamic world should be formed. Today, on the anniversary of the issuance of that great decree, we are witnessing the realization of that message, and the Basij is no longer confined to the borders of Islamic Iran. The branches of the Basij are shining in the Islamic world, and as the esteemed Leader has mentioned, we are witnessing the Basij in America, Europe, and London. Although they do not have the organization, ethics, and thinking of the Basij, they have come to the field with this perspective to fight global oppression."
He continued by saying: "Today, they have also joined us in expressing disgust at the one-sided Western policies and the war crimes of the Zionist regime. Today, all the grandeur of this regime collapsed with the Operation Sword of Al-Quds. If it resorts to genocide and kills innocent children and defenseless women, it cannot confront the resistance fighters of Hamas. This is a sign of their weakness. This regime committed crimes with the full support of America, and by providing 900-kilogram bombs and abundant equipment, while seeking dominance in the region. Today, they are forced to humiliate themselves in order to free their captives."

Mardani continued: "It is very regrettable that some Arab countries and the leaders who are traitors and puppets of the regional countries did not support the people of Palestine in the field. But the brave men of resistance taught them a lesson that if they want to continue their oppressive actions, they will not succeed, and this goal will not be achieved without the sacrifice of the Basij martyrs, the perseverance, and the victory of the nation during the 8 years of the Sacred Defense, and the strength gained by Iran."

The head of the Professors' Basij of the Country also reminded: "The Basij is more present in the field today than ever before. But jihad must also be expanded to other areas. Certainly, the Basij employees in their dedicated positions as professors are capable and experienced, and their role in university Basij is irreplaceable."

Dr. Mardani also mentioned: "During the previous period when Dr. Rahaei was in charge of the university, I was responsible for the student Basij of the country, and we have very precious memories with him. I hope that in this period, we will create good memories as well."
He added: "My request is that our dear brothers in the university staff Basij, alongside the professors' and students' Basij, should unite. In the month of Mehr of the year 1401, we sent a circular with three signatures to the universities, announcing the formation of the Coordination Council for University Basij. The staff Basij, student Basij, and professors' Basij each have their own independence, but there are many activities that can be done through collaboration, and we can become a great collective together. If, in a crisis, professors, staff, and student Basij members come together, a large and influential group is formed, and no one, not even in their own thoughts, can conspire against the revolution, Islam, or the university. Therefore, this coordination and the recommendations for more than 20 proposals for joint cooperation must be comprehensively implemented."

The head of the Professors' Basij of the Country added: "The establishment of the University Jihad Clarification Base has also been announced by the Minister of Science, in which the university president is considered the head and the professors' Basij as the secretary of the base. All cultural affairs officials are present in this clarification jihad."

Dr. Mardani also emphasized: "My recommendation is for the staff Basij to define its own priorities and define its role in higher education according to its responsibilities and mission."

He referred to the priorities of the professors' Basij and said: "The first priority of the professors' Basij is coherence and organizational excellence. A collective can only be influential when it is cohesive, organized, and has defined strategies and plans. For this purpose, attention should be paid to priorities, resources, planning, roles, etc. The regulations of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, the strategic document of the Basij for the oppressed, which has been approved by the leadership, and the document of Islamicization of universities, alongside the statements of the Supreme Leader, can determine our path in this regard."
Mardani identified the Jihad of Explanation and Hope as the second priority of the professors' Basij and said: "Imam and the Supreme Leader requested this from us. In this regard, the establishment of the Jihad of Explanation Headquarters in the Ministry of Science and then its follow-up and announcement in every university was pursued. I hope that Amirkabir University of Technology will be the first university to launch this headquarters and serve as a model for other universities in the country."

He considered the elevation of higher education as another priority for Basij professors and said: "Basij professors should help in the Islamicization and academic authority. In this regard, we have signed the Higher Education Governance Institute. Basij professors in various fields, including curriculum development and educational planning, especially in the field of humanities, should contribute by writing books. Basij professors should help more in this field with more information and follow-up."

Mardani reminded that helping to prioritize the efficiency of the country's governance system is another priority for Basij professors, and in this regard, 22 national specialized committees have been formed. In the provinces, various task forces and issue-based meetings have been created so that professors can help the judiciary, executive, and legislative branches. In this way, Basij professors will stand by the system to solve the country's problems.
Commander of the Basij Resistance Center of the Ministry of Science announced:
Creating platforms for coordination and synergy between Basij professors, employees, and students.

The commander of the Basij Resistance Center of the Ministry of Science announced the creation of platforms for coordination and synergy between Basij professors, employees, and students. He stated: "The entire potential of the university's Basij employees is to be able to manage the university and create a scientific environment, especially problem-solving, alongside Basij professors."

Dr. Hossein Nasirzadeh, in the celebration of Basij Week at Amirkabir University of Technology, presented a report on the activities of the Ministry of Science's Basij employees and said: "In our organization, we have 100 Basij bases and 8 resistance areas in Tehran, with nearly 19,000 members from the employee community being part of the Basij employees. According to our statistics, around 18,000 employees in the country's universities have been organized into Basij. With this calculation, we have a very active and capable body of Basij employees."

He continued by stating: "There was a time when university employees did not have much involvement in the scientific fields, but today our employees have mostly completed their master's and doctoral degrees and, as knowledgeable individuals, are contributing to the scientific community of the country in a way. Based on this, we were able to gather a vast capacity together so that, as soldiers of the Islamic government, they strive to realize the plans that are communicated."

The commander of the Basij Resistance Center of the Ministry of Science reminded that the Basij professors, students as products of the Islamic system, and Basij employees as the foundation of this environment, if they have the Basiji and revolutionary spirit, the university's work and scientific movement will flourish.
Nasirzadeh emphasized: "The entire potential of the university's Basij employees is to be able to manage the university and create a scientific environment, especially problem-solving, alongside Basij professors."

The commander of the Basij Resistance Center of the Ministry of Science concluded by saying: "Today, the issue of solidarity in the higher education community has been realized. In such a way that we have created a suitable platform for creating solidarity, coordination, and special synergy between Basij professors, employees, and students to move in line with the missions. I hope that on the path to realizing the leadership's orders, we will be active and vigilant soldiers for the martyrs and the revolution."

This ceremony was organized by the Basij Resistance Center of the Ministry of Science in collaboration with the Basij employees of Amirkabir University of Technology.SlideShow
