Mohammad Eslami said Saturday at the opening ceremony of the Plasma Therapy Center at Shahid Mohammadi Hospital in Bandar Abbas that the Islamic Republic of Iran has achieved remarkable scientific progress despite obstructions by its adversaries. He stressed that today, the country’s youth believe in their abilities and are positioning Iran at the forefront of scientific progress, with technologies such as plasma therapy, water desalination and innovative agricultural solutions being developed using indigenous expertise.
The vice president noted extensive efforts aimed at halting Iran’s scientific progress, but said the country had nevertheless managed to reach a significant level of progress.
He added that dominant powers are reluctant to accept other countries emerging at the forefront of science. “Americans, especially President Trump, do not tolerate other countries reaching the limits of scientific knowledge and even consider access to hydrocarbon and mineral resources their exclusive right.”
Eslami stressed that the Islamic Revolution put an end to the exploitative views that the dominant powers had towards Iran, noting that such powers had kept the country off the path to prosperity for centuries.
Referring to Iran’s technological achievements, he said that with the determination of young experts and the continuous efforts of AEOI experts, Iran is now reaching the boundaries of global scientific progress. “This is a reality. Our belief in our own capabilities has propelled Iran to the status of a major power.”
Eslami added that Iran has taken important steps in health and food security and has implemented a comprehensive program to address water scarcity and adapt to saline agriculture.
The Vice President also emphasized the expansion of the application of nuclear technology, especially in the fields of health and environment. He pointed out that Iran uses nuclear technology for seawater desalination, and plasma technology is now expanding as an effective tool in environmental protection, medicine, agriculture, and food security.
Eslami emphasized that “cold plasma” has a wide range of applications, adding that the Atomic Energy Agency is prioritizing the development of this technology and expanding its use in medical centers and various sectors of the economy.
