beautiful, so why is our GDP lower than Saudi Arabia. The PPP is 200 billion lower. The diversity is higher for sure. It is their financial and oil sector that builds their GDP I assume?
Mostly oil (52%). Also you need to remember that due to sanctions, we never had a chance to update our oil industry. so our production has declined over the past 30 years.

GDP is generated by many elements.

A barrel of oil sold comes to economy as not only $53 or something.. For every dollar generated by selling oil comes 2 to 3 times more domestic product in form of services attached to it.

SAUDI Economy and GDP:

In the 1990s, Saudi Arabia experienced a significant contraction of oil revenues combined with a high rate of population growth. Per capita income fell from a high of $11,700 at the height of the oil boom in 1981 to $6,300 in 1998.[239] Taking into account the impact of the real oil price changes on the Kingdom's real gross domestic income, the real command-basis GDP was computed to be 330.381 billion 1999 USD in 2010.[240]Increases in oil prices in the aughts[peacock term] helped boost per capita GDP to $17,000 in 2007 dollars (about $7,400 adjusted for inflation),[241] but have declined since oil price drop in mid-2014.[242]

In addition to petroleum and gas, Saudi also has a small gold mining sector in the Mahd adh Dhahab region[250] and other mineral industries, an agricultural sector (especially in the southwest) based on dates and livestock, and large number of temporary jobs created by the roughly two million annual hajj pilgrims.[251]

Statistics on poverty in the kingdom are not available through the UN resources because the Saudi government does not issue any.[252] The Saudi state discourages calling attention to or complaining about poverty. In December 2011, the Saudi interior ministry arrested three reporters and held them for almost two weeks for questioning after they uploaded a video on the topic to YouTube.[253][254][255] Authors of the video claim that 22% of Saudis may be considered poor (2009).[256] Observers researching the issue prefer to stay anonymous[257] because of the risk of being arrested.

The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 92.5% of Saudi budget revenues,[16] 90% of export earnings, and 55% of GDP.

In brief:

%55 of GDP comes directly from Petroleum. Another around %42 is generated by PRIVATE SECTOR, but as most of these private sectors enterprises are dependent on governmental revenues too we can say almost all Saudi GDP comes from OIL and GAS.

a bewildering (at least to outsiders) combination of a feudal fealty system and a more modern political patronage one. At every level in every sphere of activity, Saudis maneuver through life manipulating individual privileges, favors, obligations, and connections. By the same token, the government bureaucracy is a maze of overlapping or conflicting power center under the patronage of various royal princes with their own priorities and agendas to pursue and dependents to satisfy.[20]

The current GDP PPP of Saudi is somehow disputable. It is probably is not as high as they claim and whatever it is, it is not a GDP out of brain or hard work rather only a wealth extracted by Foreigners and spent mostly by a family of dictators.

Iranian GDP:

GDP by sector
agriculture (10%), oil (25%), industry (20%), services (45%) (2011 est.)[3]

After sanctions on oil sector the above number certainly have changed. Now agriculture and oil have lower share of controbution while industry and services increased their shares in Iranian GDP.

Main Industries:

petroleum, petrochemicals, fertilizers,caustic soda, car manufacture, parts,pharmaceuticals, home appliances,electronics, telecom, energy, power,textiles, construction, cement and otherconstruction materials, food processing(particularly sugar refining and vegetable oil production), ferrous and non-ferrous metal fabrication,armaments


Iran has progressed in various scientific and technological fields, including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, aerospace, defense, and heavy industry. Even in the face of economic sanctions, Iran is emerging as an industrialized country.[187]

Today only a fraction of Iranian budget comes from oil, while Taxes are claiming more share.

Iranian economy has many unofficial numbers hidden in it due to its unique political situation. A big part of Iranian economy is still under ground as it is not counted in GDP numbers. There are huge number who were missing due to obvious reasons. Iran has to spend a lot for his support to his allies and her activities in more than 130 countries around the world... some know what I mean...

Now, saying why Iran with all these advanced, light and heavy industries still have not reached a European level of GDP. The answer is most of other industrialized GDP income comes from a very developed SERVICE SECTOR and not from industry directly. A big part of almost all Western Industrialized nations GDP comes from Service sector. Sometimes as big as %80 of their GDP comes from Services.

Share of Service Sector in GDP of some other Industrialized countries:

UK (%73), Germany (%71) and France (%80)

Iranian service sector due to two major factors was not developed enough to generate this much of income as GDP. The reasons are First of all, Iranian sanctions that limits Iranian trade, banking sector, credit cards, swift, commercial airliners, shipping etc. Second, due to Islamic nature of Islamic republic Iran has limitations in some of the main service wealth generators. These are Liquor, night clubs, pleasure tourism, fashion, and many other industries that Iran could not have due to religious, cultural or political reasons.

Despite above mentioned limitations, Iranian service sector started to expand in other service sector elements. Now, Iranian service sector is somehow between %45 to %55 of Iranian GDP. As soon as above mentioned problems are solved or current service sector get expanded, we will see a huge increase in Iranian overall GDP.


In brief of briefest:

Saudi economy is not an economy as we know it. It is only oil and bit of Hajj and mining money that first goes to pockets of Saud family and then if they feel generous they will let other Saudis to taste some of it!!

Comparing to Iran and its vast industries, Saudis are no better than Somalia.

Iranian industry sector has as big share in Iranian GDP as other industrialized nations.

The problem lies in service sector that will be fixed soon and we will witness European level GDPs in Iran that won't get fluctuated by the price of oil as it is the case for GCC nations.

Iranian Scientists Succeeded in producing nuclear genetically improved rice seeds after 7 years of work in rice research center in cooperation with Nuclear Science and Technology Research Center of Iran in Rasht, Gilan Province.

This new rice was tested in three different provinces of Iran (Gilan, Mazandaran, Fars) and the results were great. This new rice type is very resistant to drought, Salt water, strong winds and rain. It has better fragrance and is resistant to pre-maturity and size abnormality. The new rice produces twice tones per hectare than the best current classic seeds like "Hashemi" rice.

Think of it this way, Aramco alone had a revenue of 378 billion dollars in 2014 alone!
Saudi Aramco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SABIC is another Saudi company, but it's in the Petrochemical industry. In 2011 its revenues were in excess of 50 billion. They produce all sorts of stuff, from plastics to metals and chemicals.
SABIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saudis also have a lot of companies in the financial and shipping sectors, although UAE is ahead in these areas.

Iran's economy is far more diversified, but it's bogged down by extreme corruption and lack of management. Iran's manufacturing sector also has systemic issues with lack of capital and new technology and expertise. Essentially Iran can be compared to an ex-Soviet Republic at the eve of the breakup of the Soviet Union while Saudi Arabia is an under-performing modern developing economy.
 
Scientists in Iran clone endangered mouflon – born to domestic sheep | Science | The Guardian

The baby mouflon, which has been named Maral, is the result of a four-year project at the Royan Institute.
A domestic sheep has given birth to a baby mouflon in a rare successful example of interspecies cloning, according to scientists in Iran.

The wild Isfahan mouflon – or ovis orientalis isphahanica – was cloned by researchers at Iran’s Royan Institute, which is dedicated to reproductive biomedicine and stem cell research, using the domestic sheep as a surrogate mother.

Poaching has driven the Isfahan mouflon close to extinction in Iran. The cloned mouflon, which looks similar to a deer, has been named Maral, a Persian name for a reindeer and for new babies, which means svelte.

Established in 1991, Royan has been a pioneer of IVF in the Islamic republic, where infertile couples have easy access to such treatments at reasonable costs compared to western equivalents. It has also drawn many tourist patients from across the Middle East. Iran has progressive fertility treatment and reproductive health programmes, with Shia clerics in the country largely supportive of such scientific practices.

Mohammad Hossein Nasr-Esfahani, the head of the biomedical research centre at Royan, said the motivation for the project was conservation. Royan became the first place in the Middle East to start working on animal cloning seven years ago and the birth of Maral marks the first successful attempt at interspecies cloning involving an endangered species in the country.

“We have been working on the project for around four years,” he told the Guardian. “Conservation of wildlife is an important concept in developing countries, and so far a few successful projects involving birth of wild animals by interspecies cloning have been achieved worldwide.”

To clone animals scientists take cells from one individual and insert them into an unfertilised donor egg which then develops into an embryo. In this case, the embryo was carried by a surrogate sheep, after a biopsy had been obtained from a mouflon. Domestic sheep oocytes were taken from abattoir ovaries, and the best embryos were transferred to the surrogate sheep.

Nasr-Esfahani said: “The cloning technique is very efficient in our view, and so far we have cloned a herd of goats. The last sheep that we cloned lived for over five years. This mouflon is healthy and 14 days have passed since its birth. We hope to donate the sheep to the city zoo where they can provide a suitable habitat for it.”

Iran in the forefront when it comes to stem cell research

In our Behind the Scenes series, CNN correspondents share their experiences covering news and analyze the stories behind the events.

Tehran, IRAN (CNN) -- It is a country where the call to prayer echoes throughout the capital every morning, where women must cover their heads at all times, where a Supreme Leader has the final say over everything.

But when it comes to stem cell research, Iran is cutting edge. Iran has some of the most liberal laws on stem cell research. Scientists say the clergy here define life as beginning three months after conception, which gives scientists access to human embryonic stem cells left over from fertilization trials.

Scientists here are testing treatments on mice for everything from heart disease to multiple sclerosis. And they claim to have successfully cloned a sheep last month and that the sheep is still alive. Foreign observers have been invited to verify the claim.

We traveled both to a government run laboratory and a private hospital in Tehran. Men and women were laboring over microscopes and Petri dishes. And all told us things that most scientists in the West would envy. "It's quite open, we can do our work very easily, we don't have any restriction, any problem," one of the country's leading stem cell researchers told me.

Iranian history, going back to the Persian empire, is laced with scientific achievements and one doctor told me, "the scientists would now like to go back to this era and for this reason young scientists are really excited."

The new-found pride is not just about stem cells. It's also about nuclear energy. The fact that Iranian scientists figured out how to enrich uranium without having to do so in a foreign country is a big reason the people and politicians say they won't back down from the United Nations' demands to stop.

It seems science of all kinds is pushing ahead in Iran without pause.
