According to Iranian media, the Persian language is regarded as one of the main reasons Iran has sustained a lasting global voice despite numerous historical and political upheavals.
Analysts note that Persian is not only a means of communication but also the glue binding Iran's culture, literature, and national identity. Classical Persian poetry, represented by figures like Hafez, Saadi, and Ferdowsi, has transcended Iran's borders to become a shared heritage of humanity.
The vitality of Persian is also reflected in its role as the official language of many cultural and scientific institutions in the region, as well as its ability to absorb and assimilate modern terminology, enabling Iran to actively participate in international forums on technology, diplomacy, and academia.
Emphasizing the preservation and promotion of the Persian language, combined with a strategy of cultural diplomacy, is seen as key to ensuring Iran is not marginalized in the context of globalization. Iranian scholars stress that Persian, along with the country's rich history, is a powerful soft weapon, creating a lasting influence that transcends time and borders.
