Iran science sanctions are detrimental to world science: Official
Iran’s officials have said that imposing science sanctions on Iran is detrimental to world sciences.
Deputy Minister of Science in International Affairs has said that lodged a complaint to the United Nation in order to pursue science sanctions.
Vahid Hadadi noted that the UN sent a representative to Iran in response to our complaint. Ms. Dohan, who came to Iran as the representative of the UN, saw our documents.
These documents show how science sanctions against Iran were detrimental to world sciences, he underscored.
If we discover something and don’t announce it to the world, the world’s scientific society must do it again, so Iran’s science sanctions are detrimental to the scientific discussions, he highlighted.
Research Assistant to Iran’s Minister of Science Peyman Salehi said that the free flow of science is part of international rules and nothing can stop it.
Underlining that the free flow of science shouldn’t be subject to sanctions and political issues, Salehi noted that today when our researchers send an article to a journal, they get answers that say your country or your university is under sanctions.
