IRNA: "Unity between seminaries, universities foils US plots"

That's a deeply totalitarian sort of headline. The vague exhortation, which is actually an "important idea" of the fearless leader, will enable the people to thwart the conspiracies of [insert enemy here].
Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said here Tuesday that solidarity between seminaries and universities would neutralize US conspiracies in the Middle East.

Rafsanjani made the remark in a seminar on 'Unity between Seminary and University' in Khorramabad, Lorestan province, adding Washington deals with Tehran in an aggressive manner because of its Islamic nature.

Iran's huge energy resources, distinguished geographical location and talented people are among other reasons for the American administration to pursue hostile policy on Iran, he said.

Rafsanjani, who is also head of Assembly of Experts, said that the US officials are trying to isolate Tehran, and are unwilling to see a developed Iran, therefore, numerous Iranian scientific articles are not allowed to be published in American magazines.

Western countries have so far exerted pressures on Iran and try to eliminate the country from global scene, he said, adding that the Iranian nation has found the path to scientific and technological development.

The Expediency Council chairman further said that the late Imam Khomeini proposed the important idea of unity between seminaries and universities, because of the global arrogance's attempt to sow discord between the two ideological and scientific centers in Iran.
