"The attack on the Laser and Plasma Research Institute of the elite higher education facility is part of a growing pattern of civilian sites targeted by the United States and Israel in their war on Iran."
"This hostile act not only targets the security of academics and the country's scientific environment, but is also a clear attack on reason, research, and freedom of thought."
"Attacking universities and research centres means returning to the Stone Age, the minister said in reference to a threat by US President Donald Trump to bomb Iran back to."
The US and Israeli strikes have affected at least 30 universities since the war began, with Shahid Beheshti University suffering significant damage. The Laser and Plasma Research Institute was bombed, although no casualties occurred due to online classes. The attacks are seen as assaults on academic freedom and research. Iranian officials emphasize the long history of targeting Iranian scientists, with several professors assassinated during the conflict. The minister of science condemned the strikes, equating them to a regression to primitive times.
