The Head of the Office of the Representative of the Supreme Leader at the University of Kurdistan, emphasizing the role of universities and elites in the strategic progress of the country, stated: "The achievements of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the fields of missiles, drones, and other advanced technologies are the result of the attention given to science, the university, and the capacity of the nation's professors and elites."

According to the Public Relations Office of the University of Kurdistan, Hojjat al-Islam Abedin Rostami spoke this Sunday, June 21, at a scientific symposium titled "The Role of Elites and University Professors in the Continuation of the People's Mission," held at the University of Kurdistan’s conference hall. Highlighting the distinction between hard war and soft war, he noted: "In hard war, power is utilized for coercion, imposition, and the seizure of authority; however, in soft war, the objective is to persuade the public opinion of a nation, and it incurs significantly lower costs than hard war."

He further stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is currently engaged in confrontation across four different battlefields, adding: "One of these is the military field, where significant achievements have been attained. The nation's current success in the fields of missiles and drones is the result of utilizing the capacity of universities, professors, and elites."
