Iranian officials ‘ people Tehran University and Yemen’s Houthi-controlled Sanaa University, two institutions run by extreme ideology terrorist organizations, made enrollment available this week to students in America and Europe who were facing disciplinary actions for their support of the Hamas terrorist business.
On campuses across the United States, violent “encampment” occupations and other disorderly behavior have exploded, most notably at universities located in traditionally left-wing neighborhoods like New York’s Columbia University, The University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA ), and Northwestern University in greater Chicago.

Following the crimes committed by Hamas people, including UN employees, on October 7, the protesters are opposed to Israel’s self-defense measures in the Gaza Strip, Hamas’s enclave. Hamas terrorists killed an estimated 1, 200 people, abducted about 250, and engaged in murder, group murder, and widespread abuse during that season, actions the scholar protesters have no condemned.
The Israel Defense Forces ( IDF) entered Hamas- controlled Gaza following October 7 to destroy the evil team’s ability to duplicate the destruction of that invasion, angering Hamas allies, such as Iran and Turkey, and prompted international communist condemnation of Israel, with little, if any, recognition of the severity of the October 7 violence.
As of Friday,  , police have arrested more than 2, 000 people for violence and disruptive activity on campuses nationwide. According to the Associated Press, the protests have so far had an impact on 43 universities.

Brown University  announced on Thursday that it would consider ceasing to projects in Israel, which was a top demand of the occupiers, making it the first university to do so.
Iranian Shiraz University, a public institution, made the announcement on Wednesday that any protester in America or Europe who is facing academic sanctions for supporting Hamas could apply for scholarships there. Additionally, professors are also being invited to apply for scholarships there if they want to attend a campus that is more pro-jihadist. On Thursday, the larger Tehran University made a similar appeal to pro- Hamas Westerners.
According to Iranian state propaganda website PressTV, Seyed Mahmoud Aghamiri, the dean of Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, said on Thursday,” We accept students who have been expelled from European and American universities for protesting the actions of the Zionists.”  ,” We have considered scholarship for these students and we fully cover the cost of education, dormitory and accommodation”.
According to Aghamiri, the invitation would primarily be extended to” Palestinian students whose lives have been impacted” by alleged” Israeli aggression.”
Similarly, in Yemen, in remarks to Reuters published on Friday, an unnamed official with Sanaa University offered a place in the institution to , Americans suspended from universities for supporting jihadist terrorism.
The unnamed official stated that” we are serious about welcoming students who have been suspended from American universities for supporting Palestinians.” We are using every means at our disposal to fight this conflict with Palestine.
This week, Sanaa University condemned its American counterparts for” suppression of freedom of expression,” applauding police action to remove violent protesters after they threatened others on campus and destroyed property, and disrupting the regular final exam season at the end of the semester.
Sanaa University, in the occupied capital, is currently in control of the Iran- backed Shiite terrorist organization Ansarallah, more commonly known as the” Houthis” after the name of the leaders of the group. In 2014, the Houthis conquered Sanaa, erasing the legitimate government of Yemen, launching an ongoing civil war that has forced the government to relocate to the southern city of Aden.
The Houthis have launched a terrorist campaign in the Red Sea, threatening all ships and other vessels in the region, and have since become a crucial player in the post-October 7 geopolitical landscape. The Houthis have launched attacks against dozens of vessels, many of them commercial ships with no significant ties to Israel and, in some cases, ties to Houthi allies such as , Iran,  , Russia,  , and , China.

Both the Iranian government and the Houthi terrorist organization are incredibly oppressive, especially when it comes to young people who might be rebelling. In the past ten years, Iran has seen a wave of protests against its radical Islamic regime, most recently one following the killing of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman detained by Iran’s “morality police for allegedly not wearing her hijab properly.
Human rights groups estimate that Iranian authorities have killed over 500 people, many of them students, for protesting in Mahsa Amini’s name. At least 70 of these are believed to have been children.
The main intervention the Houthis imposed on Sanaa University in Yemen also targeted the freedom of women on campus. Houthi terrorists forced the university to segregate class times in July, forcing both male and female students to not be on the same campus at the same time.
” Male students will now be required to report to the college on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, while female students must attend on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, according to a decision circulated by the college’s Houthi- backed students ‘ union”, Arab News reported in July.
The outlet quoted , Houthi leader Mohammed Ali Al- Houthi calling the move “in accordance with the female students ‘ desires, as they possess modesty, pride, and elevated Islamic values”.
