What Would We All Say If Iran Razed MIT Because of Military-Related Research?

The U.S. and Israel struck Isfahan University of Technology and Iran University of Science and Technology over the weekend, citing the schools' alleged ties to Iran's weapons programs, though no warning was issued to students and staff. At least four staff members were wounded in the strikes, which occurred after Iran's universities had already been closed since the U.S.–Israeli war began last month. In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that American university facilities in the region would be considered legitimate targets if the U.S. does not condemn the strikes. The Iranian military has ordered all employees, professors, and students at American universities in the region to stay at least a kilometer away. Several major American universities with campuses in the Persian Gulf, including New York University, Texas A&M, and Carnegie Mellon, have already moved to online instruction and relocated most international students and faculty.
