There's more corruption in the west than most people tend to think. Look at Trump and his tax scams. Can anyone do anything about it ? Nope because he's filthy rich and has access to top notch lawyers. Look at Biden's son, making $80,000 a month in a third world country, Ukraine, with those biolabs and all the MSM tried to brush it under the rug as a Russian conspiracy. In the USA look at the state of their infrastructure, like Chicago.
Classic whataboutism
So because there is corruption in the West. Iran shouldn’t address its own debilitating corruption?
That’s like being a drug addict, but telling your family I’m only addicted to pills, look at the neighbor he is a opium addict...so why should I change?
Iran has better, nicer metro systems than the US. In the US 10% don't even have Universal healthcare and insulin costs 8x more than in Canada. The US is the only industrialized country without Universal healthcare. If that's not corruption then I don't know what is. No country is perfect but there is alot of corruption in the west, they just do a better job of hiding it and presenting a squeaky clean image, which is really an illusion.
Cleanliness of Metros are a municipality issue not a US government issue. I suggest you learn the basic of US government federal jurisdictions and State jurisdictions and County jurisdictions and City Jurisdictions and how federal aid to states works.
And Universal healthcare is a terrible idea. It just ends up pushing the cost on the government who ends up just increasing taxes on the people to pay for it or worse go into debt and destroy future generations . Just look at Medicare, Medicaid, and Social security already make up over 50% of US spending. Safety social net programs crush a country.
This is what you think prosperity is? This is what you consider a good indication of a successful country? Basic economics tells you socialist governments will soon run into a buzzsaw from constant money printing. Look at how “prosperous” Venezuela turned out because it couldn’t print money like the EU.
Look at what happening in Iran...under Raisi....they are cutting tens of billions in subsidies because it is hampering the state and only further causing corruption.

Completely agree. Corruption happens everywhere. But in US they make sure to steal while thriving, officials in Iran steal even under back breaking conditions. People see this and get further enraged when Qalibaf is saying tighten your belt and he himself is lavishly going on vacations. Or officials say study at our universities while they send their own kids to the West. It’s hypocrisy that makes people lose faith in the system.
Honestly in the west, if you're filthy rich, you can get away with murder, I'm not even kidding. However if you're poor you have no rights.
This is completely not correct. If by the West you mean US, then you can see many rich wealthy individuals (or their heirs) in prisons for committing such acts.
The only people who “get away” with murder are those with diplomatic immunity because they are tied to foreign diplomats and fall under treaty rules.
