Iran on the Attack on Universities: Such Barbarism Is Unprecedented in Contemporary History

The Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, following the attack on Iran's universities, emphasized in a letter to the UN, "Such barbarism is unprecedented in contemporary history."

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, following the attack on Iran's universities, said in a letter to the UN, “Such barbarism, which is unprecedented in contemporary history, constitutes part of a broad and systematic policy publicly acknowledged by the President of the United States and the criminal Prime Minister of the rogue Israeli regime, and poses a serious threat to international peace and security.”

Amir Saeid Iravani, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN, said in a letter to the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council on Monday local time, “In the early hours of April 6, 2026, Sharif University of Technology was attacked by the Israeli regime and the United States of America. This unlawful attack caused severe damage to the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the Department of Philosophy of Science, the Nanotechnology and Environment Research Institutes, the Convergent Research Building, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and other facilities.”

Iravani added, “This heinous act follows another war crime committed by the aggressors on April 3, 2026, when parts of Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, including the Laser and Plasma Research Institute, were severely damaged.”

The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN further stated, “The deliberate targeting of scientific institutions and universities is a clear violation of international humanitarian law and constitutes a war crime.”
