Shahab Esfandiary, associate professor at Iran University of Arts, says recent regional developments have reinforced the effectiveness of the resistance strategy, arguing that countries which sought security through alignment with the United States failed to safeguard either their national interests or long-term stability.
He maintains that the path pursued by Iran over the past decades has shown that independence and self-reliance are the most effective means of protecting sovereignty and securing national interests.
Addressing the role of the younger generation, Esfandiary stresses the importance of scientific advancement, technological development, and economic self-sufficiency, arguing that Iran's ability to withstand external pressure demonstrates the value of a resistance-based economy driven by domestic knowledge and innovation. He says recent events have strengthened young Iranians' belief in national independence and self-reliance.
According to the analyst, nationwide rallies marking the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance send a clear message of opposition to foreign interference and reaffirm public support for Iran's independence and sovereignty.
He says the demonstrations reflect a determination to shape the region's future without outside intervention and to pursue peace and development through regional cooperation.
