I have to believe from the false dilemma piece recently penned by Ray Tayekh for the Washington Post, he has no idea this level of development is possible in a heavily sanctioned Iran.
I have to believe that a nation can build autobahns, make the trains run on time and have beautiful malls constructed (many with nice bathrooms) and what is really going on is that the lousy dictatorial government is cannibalizing the wealth of the nation. the government drains the resources from the middle and upper classes and uses it corruptly, some of it going for "public works" that serve to distract from the fact that
collapse
is
coming.
Soviet Union also had plenty monuments and halls of people. This dreamland has cost twice as much it was expected because of all the corruption and sanctions. Both you and Ray are off base
