Bangladesh has a new viral celebrity before Eid al-Adha, a 700kg buffalo nicknamed "Donald Trump" because of its resemblance to the US President.
Note: This buffalo only resembles Donald Trump. Unlike the US President, it isn’t accused of being a pedophile. 🐃
Iran sent 4 PhDs to the negotiating table in Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer, and a general. Iran's Deputy FM has 3 graduate degrees from Kansas, Fordham, and the University of Bern.
Iran's FM has a PhD from the University of Kent and has been negotiating with the West for 30 years. PhD count: Iran 4 — US 0.
You may not remember but before the war with Iran, the whole world was terrified by the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford. This ship was disabled after being hit by a number of Iranian cruise missiles and the Lincoln also fled far away! Now carriers are not even a topic of discussion!
Imagine if Iran bombed and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge in California, what would you call it? TERRORISTS
The U.S bombed and destroyed the highest bridge in Iran, the B1 bridge, why do you call it “PEACE”?
Bombing a bridge is a war crime under international humanitarian law
🇸🇾🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️– A citizen from southern Syria in a message to Netanyahu:
"The missiles will not only be launched from Iran towards the entity, but we will also ignite the Syrian borders and missiles will be launched from southern Syria as well."
The moment Arab-Zionist countries enter a war with Iran, Trump will withdraw from the Middle East and watch us tear each other apart. At the same time, when we are all at our weakest, Israel will begin its Greater Israel project
Since we already know how arrogant arabs are, the question is: when will they fall for this trap?
Iranian Technology Goes Far Beyond Missiles
The country rank in the global 5 in six critical technologies
Iran has established itself as a major power in missiles, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The country also competes with global powers in several other technological markets.
Although it still faces historical bottlenecks in investment in basic sectors, resulting in critical deficits in electricity generation and potable water supply, the situation is changing. Iran has woken up to these vulnerabilities and is now directing billions of dollars toward restructuring its essential infrastructure.
However, it still needs to prove that domestic infrastructure is a higher priority than funding militias in foreign territories.
The most impressive phenomenon, however, is occurring in the field of knowledge.
Just a few years ago, anyone who predicted that Iran would surpass powers such as Germany, Japan, and India in frontier areas like nanotechnology would have been laughed at. Today, the data confirms that this is the new geopolitical reality of science.
When we examine indicators such as SCImago Journal & Country Rank, StatNano, Web of Science, Nature Index, and the ASPI Critical Technology Tracker, Iran ranks among the world’s top ten scientific powers in several fields.
Global Research Ranking – Iran (Top 10 Worldwide)
According to consolidated indicators of scientific output and academic impact, Iran belongs to the global elite in the following disciplines:
•Nanotechnology: 4th to 6th place
•Artificial Neural Networks: 6th place
•Industrial Engineering: 7th place
•Aerospace Engineering: 8th place
•Mechanical Engineering: 9th place
•Analytical Chemistry: 9th place
•Surface Science: 9th place
•Energy Engineering: 10th place
(These positions come from a compilation the rankings of SCImago Journal & Country Rank, StatNano, Web of Science, Nature Index, and the ASPI Critical Technology Tracker.)
Strategic Breakdown (ASPI Critical Technology Tracker – 2025 Update)
The ASPI report shows that Iran not only publishes in large volume but also with high impact.
The country ranks in the global top 5 in six critical technologies, including:
Aircraft engines and hypersonics, where it competes directly with major global powers
Biofuels and smart materials, areas in which Iranian scientific production is considered world-class;
Nanomaterials and advanced coatings, directly linking basic science to defense and heavy industry
Smart materials;
All of this has been achieved despite international sanctions, which have ironically helped Iran become one of the fastest-growing nations in technology worldwide.
This progress is driven by an internal ecosystem of elite universities, such as Sharif and Tehran, that have turned isolation into a powerful engine of technical self-sufficiency.
Iran has reached a technological level where, even if it abandoned its current nuclear project, it could restart and complete it in just a few years.
This gives the country the ability to make its own choices and chart its own path.
The West needs to recognize the technological advances Iran has made over the past three decades.
Which Western nation possesses hypersonic missiles with short, medium, and intermediate range? Not even the United States has this capability with fully domestic technology, something Iran has already achieved.
In addition, Iran belongs to the select group of nations capable of manufacturing its own satellites and placing them into orbit using indigenous launch vehicles. However, Iranian technology goes far beyond aerospace.
