The same goes to your kingdom by exporting terrorism and how MBS trying to make himself a absolute rulerThat's the natural outcome of trying to afford a proxy empire.
Corruption in Iran is no more or no less than in rest of the region. Corruption was also rampant during Shah's time. However what some very immature posters here are overlooking is Iran had/has one of the largest oil/gas reserves in the world. This country should have been Germany of the east by now. It should have had one of the highest per capitas in the world. As comparison look at GCC.
Even more alarmingly Turkey a country that Iran was slightly ahead in 1979 has overtaken it and is today miles ahead of Iran. considering Turkey has no oil/gas this comes as most surprising. And Turkey has fully bitten the US carrot and is fully paid member of the NATO and other western alliances. Considering the oil/gas and the potential of the Iranian people they have been shafted by America.
It does. Only question is how much oil you have. How many people you have. If you have lots of oil and few people = filthy rich. Nigeria has oil but has far too many people. Approaching 200 million. Most of GCC have smaller populations then a typical town in Pakistan. Iran had I believe second or third largest oil resources in the world and population was not very high in 1980s - mid 30s million I think.Oil does not mean a country would become wealthy
I would like to see their opinions as well as @HAKIKAT can throw some light on the subject.It does. Only question is how much oil you have. How many people you have.

And Turkey's rise has been thanks to it's close association with Europe/America. The take off under erdogan came about after decades of layed down the foundation. Ask the many Turkish members here. They will tell you how much they depend on the West for investment/markets/technology. That is why Turkey that faces Europe is booming.

ghee thora zyada ni dal gya?Iran is 100% Developed Nation , if it was not for the illegal sanctions , Iran like Turkey would be Top democratic representative of Muslim World , Pakistan is in Emerging category as we have not attain that level of Independence from US dollar influence
Turkey / Iran / Pakistan are the Top 3 representative of Democractic institutes in Muslim world and we have same focus on education, engineering and awareness of our presence in world
Without the west we would never have gotten so far and as for the foundation of the economic ''rise'',it was layed down in 1980.And Turkey's rise has been thanks to it's close association with Europe/America. The take off under erdogan came about after decades of layed down the foundation.
Half of Turkish exports go to Eurozone and by far largest chunk of FDI in Turkey comes from EU.It does. Only question is how much oil you have. How many people you have.

Your not poor. It would be silly to assume that. Your average citizens is fairly secure and your education system is exceptional. I real living standards your not that far behind Turkey.How poor we are!!!
I don't think the situation as as bad as that. Iranians are a smart, sophisticated people and the country has built up human capital which has reached critical mass. This country resembles poor Eastern European country when it should and could have been a powerhouse of the east.just another venezuela. all that oil gone to waste.
