My university was also bombed a few days ago ! The targeting of power plants, healthcare facilities, schools, and people’s homes is a direct attack on the people of Iran ! Countless ways for manipulation of our collective intelligence have been used to justify all this mess ...
Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, one of Iran’s top science and engineering institutions, was bombed tonight, and a number of schools reportedly damaged.
Founded in 1966 (as Aryamehr University), Sharif is a cornerstone of Iran’s scientific and academic life.
Striking and destroying universities and schools is not just an attack on buildings,it is an attack on a country’s future.
Pasteur Institute of Iran, founded in 1920 now destroyed by Israel-US bombing 😞
It played a pivotal role in developing vaccines & infectious disease prevention, now gone😞
This is after a few pharmaceutical plants were bombed over the past days
