It's pretty sad Iranian government is squandering all this talent because of its radical and confrontational policies. Iran has been suffering a brain drain like no other country for a long time, no matter what exiled Iranians achieve it will make no difference if they aren't inside the country and if the economy doesn't support such jobs.
I love it when people make an azz of themselves trying to leave smart comments.
Iran is 19th in the world according to
THIS and has the fastest scientific growth on earth according to
Science Matrix, based in Montreal Canada. All these publications are being produced INSIDE Iran.
Arian simply gave the names of some Iranian scientists working on major projects in the world, that's all. And we do have a large brain drain, but that's because we produce a lot of "brains" in the first place. Almost everyone in my family have PHDs and master's degrees, and my own father was accepted to grad school to do his PHD but he never did it. This is normal for all Iranian families, whether inside Iran or outside. So yeah, we have brain drain, but we produce enough "brains" to be able to sustain it.
And if you don't believe me, believe the US census:
"According to the latest census data available, more than one in four Iranian-Americans holds a master's or doctoral degree, the highest rate among 67 ethnic groups studied."

P.S. China and a lot of other Asian countries are suffering from brain drain. This is expected. We are all growing but there are more opportunities outside the country for people with higher education so they leave for countries that pay better. This is a process that all Asian countries are going through.
P.P.S. What radical policies? lmao
Defending yourself is "radical" these days. We will not give up an inch of our rights under any circumstance.
