    Currently here in San Francisco we've about twenty tower cranes working construction sites, and I'm told by an iron worker friend about two dozen more are planned for the imminent future. We consider this a construction boom.

    I'm really curious how many tower cranes are currently at work in Tehran. Nearly every photo of the city shows at least one, with most showing more than one. Just in the above photos, I count no less than eight.

      Mark this is a working Nation and a performing Government!!.-the construction boom in Tehran and other cities is yet another manifestation of confidence on the part of citizens to their Government amid war threats and SETS AND NEW SETS of sanctions from a desperate CONGRESS.

    Mark, as you are very well informed about these projects, could you please tell us, who, which entity is behind these massive projects? Any tendering process? Any private companies involved? The Tehran Municipality? Is it the IRGC or "Gharar gahe Khatam -ol- anbia" ? I am sure as an "investigative journalist" these questions must be interesting to you.
