The Executive Vice President stated that the country's industries were bombed during the war, noting: "Our industries were rebuilt in the shortest possible time and solely by Iranians, which is a great epic in itself." Ghaempanah continued: "The military achievements of the country also demonstrate our capabilities against superpowers."
Iran's achievements in the international arena
Ghaempanah, referring to the challenges facing the country and the 47-year sanctions, stated: "Iran has been able to overcome problems in the war against a superpower like the United States and thwart their goals. Trump could not achieve objectives such as the destruction of Iran and the occupation of its territories." He also referred to historical records, saying: "Iran will remain despite all challenges and shortages, and has shown the world a lesson in resilience and freedom."
The Executive Vice President, referring to regional developments and recent meetings of high-ranking delegations from neighboring countries, emphasized: "These delegations stated that our main enemy is Israel and we must stand together against it."
Ghaempanah further pointed out the importance of strengthening civil institutions and scientific associations, saying: "We must allow the members of the associations to have the right to determine their own members, and no one should be considered a godfather of the association." He also emphasized the importance of the votes of association members in their legitimacy, adding: "The Iranian Scientific Ophthalmology Association is one of the most reputable and oldest associations in the country that has played an important role in treating people."
Finally, Ghaempanah expressed hope that with the best knowledge and technology, the people of the country would be treated and dependence on foreign countries would be minimized.
