In his message on Sept. 22, marking the start of the new academic year, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed to what truly protects a nation in an age of unchecked aggression — the power that springs from knowledge joined with faith and ethics:
"In an age when the savagery of the system of domination — particularly the criminal US government and the illegitimate Zionist regime — is rampant, the power that springs from knowledge, which is joined with piety and ethics, is like an iron shield and a sharp sword that cuts short the aggressors' hands."
