| 2011-06-05 |
| [Iran Press TV] Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says despite the pressure by hegemonic powers Iran is the most influential country in the Mohammedan world. "Despite all pressures, the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran is a pioneering country among Mohammedan states, and this advancement is due to the Islamic foundation laid by the late Imam [Khomeini]," Salehi said on the sideline of the 22nd anniversary of the passing of the late founder of the Islamic Theocratic Republicin Tehran on Saturday. Salehi described Imam Khomeini's endeavors as a movement "based on rights and justice" that will persist until it involves other "justice-seeking nations," IRNA reported. "Iran is the first Mohammedan country that has launched a satellite into space, used stem cell technology and achieved self-sufficiency in nuclear field," Salehi pointed out. Iran is self-sufficient in radioisotopes used in medical treatments and it is set to produce industrial isotopes in the upcoming years. In addition to nuclear technology, Iran is a leading country in nanotechnology, colonization and medicine in the Middle East and in the Mohammedan world. Currently, Iran is one of the 10 countries that produce embryonic human stem cells, has successfully cloned a sheep and is set to clone a cow within three to five years. Iran also launched its first domestically-produced satellite, Omid (hope), into orbit in 2009. To date, only eight countries have put domestically-made satellites into orbit. Under a 20-year development plan, Iran aims to become a base for high technology and a scientific powerhouse in the region. |

| #2 The Arab world does not recognize Iran as such. Iran is in love with themselves. The Muslim world is fractured with different beliefs. Imposing your faith will gather some sheep but not all. They are not in locked step as they would have you believe. Our own media does this broad brush stroke as well. |
