“The United States cannot manage the West Asia without understanding Islam and the relationship between the Islamic Republic and other countries,” said Major General Mohsen Rezaei in a Wednesday address to a conference in Tehran on Future Studies.
According to a Farsi report by Tasnim news agency, Rezaei warned that low level of understanding for the president of a country like the US is more dangerous than his insanity.
“In fact, scientists and politicians need future studies. A nation that fails to envisage future events is lagging behind in shaping its future,” Rezaei said.
“If we want to be a leading nation, we won’t be able to succeed in different spheres without paying attention to the future,” he added.
General Rezaei stated that the issues and events of the world are changing rapidly and foreseeing the future is very complicated.
“We need to have enough knowledge and skills in this field. Of course, in this regard we are ahead of some Western countries.”
“The most important factor in future studies is the proper understanding of the events, changes and rules governing human life. Americans have the technology, but they do not have a proper understanding of the issues,” Rezaei noted.
