Scientific Progress Can Help Fend Off Foreign Pressure

Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that scientific progress can help make the country less vulnerable to threats and pressure from the enemy that seeks to paint Iran in a negative light.  
"Presenting a wrong, negative and disappointing image of the situation in Iran is high on the enemy's agenda. However, the true image of the country is the exact opposite of what the world arrogant power [the United States] is trying to convey," the Leader told a gathering of intellectuals and scholars in Tehran, his official website reported.
