Mohammad Jafar Ghaemian, at the thirty-fifth Congress of the Iranian Scientific Ophthalmology Association, commemorated the memory of the martyrs of the 12-day war, the Ramadan war, and especially the martyrs of the Shajareh Tayebeh school, and discussed the scientific and industrial capabilities of Iran. He noted Iran's scientific position in ophthalmology, stating: "In the field of medicine, especially ophthalmology, fortunately, we are very advanced compared to the region and perhaps we lack nothing compared to many countries in the world."
Advancements in Ophthalmology and Industries in Iran
The Executive Vice President continued: "This progress is not limited to ophthalmology, and we are witnessing such transformations in many areas of the country." Ghaemian pointed to the country's capabilities in the steel and petrochemical industries, adding: "We are among the world's leaders in the steel industry, and in the petrochemical sector, we are among the countries that possess technology and knowledge."
He referred to the attacks on the country's industries during the war, stating: "When our steel and petrochemical industries were bombed, in the shortest possible time, solely by Iranians and without any foreign intervention, our industries were rebuilt, and the highest technology was used; this was a great epic."
Iran's Military and Economic Achievements
Ghaemian stated that significant achievements have also been made in the military industries, saying: "We must be proud that after 47 years of sanctions, we have faced off against a superpower called the United States." He referred to Trump's statements about the destruction of Iran and emphasized that the U.S. could not achieve its goals. This success has been achieved thanks to the efforts of distinguished scholars and scientists in the country who have been able to build drones and missiles at the cutting edge of knowledge, enhancing Iran's national and military power.
He also pointed to the changing perceptions regarding Iran's military capabilities, stating: "Today it has been proven that these are not mere rumors, and we can stand up against a superpower like the United States and preserve our country." Ghaemian noted: "Iran, despite all grievances, deficiencies, and shortages, will remain Iran and has shown the world the lesson of freedom, resilience, and not succumbing to colonialism."
He also referred to regional developments, saying: "High-ranking delegations from our three neighboring countries, namely Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, came to Iran in recent days and declared that our main enemy is Israel." Ghaemian emphasized the necessity of strengthening the electoral structures of associations, stating: "We must allow the members of the association to have the right to determine their own members."
In conclusion, he mentioned advancements in ophthalmology in the field of corneal transplants, stating: "Today we are happy that with the best contemporary knowledge and technology, we treat people and are no longer dependent on foreign countries."
