I did not lob personal insults. It seems that the facts really got to you. Your diatribe of nonsense does not offer a rebuttal to the facts that I stated. You are parroting the same lines from Iran International and all the useless opposition abroad. People like you who are tune deaf are dangerous with their ideas. People like you, while holding the flag of the aggressor nation, who have been cheering the death of over 1000 Iranians for the last several months, are dangerous to Iran and Iranians.
People like you, who go to useless opposition rallies, who hold the flag of the blood thirsty child killers, you are the real threat. Thankfully, the people of Iran rallied around the flag, even if the regime is loathed. The great people of Iran understand that the rapist knocking at the door are not the answer to their problems. They know that if Khamenei goes now, under these circumstances, what comes after will be worse.
This **** and people like you will take your dreams to your grave.
Let's go through a quick crash course so next time that you start yammering nonsense, you will be better informed.
Iran is not a vassal state. Why? Because it has had an independent policy since 1979, good or bad, that is a fact. It has strategic Autonomy. Yes, it does. Otherwise, the U.S would not have threatened and sanctioned it for the last forty years. It has its own military industry, food industry, biotech, space, and nuclear technology, precisely to avoid reliance on global powers, unlike the fake countries of the Persian Gulf, which buy protection with their oil revenues. Iran is not a vassal stat,e and it is not a failed state.
Iran has a lot of problems. It has self-inflicted scars and massive corruption, but it is not a failure, no matter how many times you and the Israel fanboys talk about the drought.
When was the last time a great power purchased manufacturing rights from Iran or any regional power? Russia just purchased gas turbines from Mapna. Yes, Iran depends somewhat on them for sanctions relief and trade, but it does not take direct orders the way a vassal would, unlike Qatar and the Saudis.
Tucker Carlson, one of the most prominent voices of the right and the entire West, whose videos get upwards of 100 million views, explicitly says that Israel is blackmailing the US politicians and even the president, and you think the Arabs are voluntarily going along ? I can’t stop laughing. Sure, USAID has nothing to do with it, you say. You have a lot to learn. Is Jordan a smart country?
The fake Countries of the Persian Gulf buy billions of dollars in U.S. weapons, invest in U.S. assets, and price oil in dollars, which sustains the petrodollar system — all of which benefit Washington. But you are right. They are making independent decisions that benefit their people.
The U.S. Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain, Qatar hosts the largest U.S. air base in the region, and Saudi Arabia relies on U.S. Oh no way, they are not vassals. They are independent countries that go along voluntarily. It is all about the Abraham Accords, stupid. You are right. They are not client states.
Iran created
vassal-like networks of its own- Hezbollah, militias in Iraq, Houthis , and influence in Syria. The war is prolonged. You lose battles, but that does not equate to losing the war. The U.S. left Afghanistan in shame after 20 years and trillions of dollars.
What did General Henri Gouraud say?
“Saladin, we have returned. My presence here consecrates the victory of the Cross over the Crescent.”
The Muslims are not part of the club. From Pakistan to Syria. This is why you are clueless and do not know and understand history. The rapists will always look at you as lessor brown man Persian or not.
Why was there a revolution? Because underneath the Persian Majesty, there were millions of disgruntled Iranians. Who were the backers of his Majesty? The same Zionists whom you are the fan boys worship.
Let's take a brief look at the Shah and his immediate family.
His sister Ashraf was the drug kingpin. She flooded the country with heroin and opium.
Here are some of Reza Pahlavi’s holdings:
He was a partner in nearly every company in the private sector, as well as in almost all the factories and industries. These included banks, manufacturing companies, construction companies, food companies, mining operations, and nearly all of the country's hotel rooms.
He had a 25% ownership stake in Knipp, owned high-rise buildings in New York, and maintained Swiss bank accounts. I can keep going.
From the New York Times: “Mohammed Riza Pahlevi may be losing a kingdom in Iran, but the pain of his exile, if and when it comes, will be considerably eased by one of the largest private fortunes in the world.”
The family is estimated to be worth over $20 billion
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was the final Shah of Iran, leading the country from 1941 until he was deposed in the Iranian Revolution in early 1979. At the time of his death in 1980, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's

What percentage of Iranian women were literate in 1979? 25%
Yes the great Persian Pahlavi was not interested in educating the mothers of Iran.

Below is the link to Oil contract The Shah signed. It was revealed when operation Ajax was declassified. Iran only received 13% of the Oil revenue. The same deals that the fake countries of the Persian Gulf have signed.
Iran - Oil Nationalization, Wartime Economy, Revolution: Mohammad Reza Shah succeeded to the throne in a country occupied by foreign powers, crippled by wartime inflation, and politically fragmented. Paradoxically, however, the war and occupation had brought a greater degree of economic...

When I said Russia is fighting an existential war like Iran, I did not say Iran is a global nuclear-armed power. You don't seem to have the ability to understand, so I will explain it in simpler terms.
A decisive defeat risks undermining regime stability and potentially leading to the partition of both countries. Both countries have enormous resources. Both countries have central banks independent of the Rothchild. Russia has aligned itself with the “Global South / anti-Western” bloc. No, Russia is not part of whatever world order you are talking about. Russia and Iran shared opposition to U.S. hegemony. They are both very much dependent on China. The neocons have tried for decades to go to war with both Russia and Iran.
As for the Air Force, the Russians were not willing to sell Iran any offensive weapons that were worth it. They dragged their feet with S300 and would not deliver it until they were forced to pay 4 times the purchase price in penalty or provide the system. So Iranian leaders made the right decision to invest in the ballistic missile and drone program, not useless foreign fighters.
Maybe the Pakistan model would have worked, but there is no evidence that China, at that time, which was inferior to the US, would have agreed to set up joint production. What was a massive blunder? Not investing in local manufacturing and production of fighters.
If they had built 100 reverse-engineered F-5S with upgraded avionics and Chinese AA missiles, they would have easily crushed the Israeli US drones flying into Iran’s airspace.
As for the standard of living, no matter how many times you regurgitate opposition lies about the drought, water, and electricity, the facts speak for themselves.
I even included Israel, the country that the fanboys worship.
The problem is clueless dummies like you want to compare Iran with the likes of industrial nations that collaborate and safeguard critical technology to keep everyone else on the outside as clients. Below is a factual comparison of Israel, Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan. Without a doubt, the corporation known as world Jewry shines. When you kill, blackmail, rape, and pillage, you have an advantage.
| Government / Central Debt (Debt-to-GDP, etc.) |
| Israel’s central 66.5 % of GDP (IMF data) IMF |
| Iran: 36.85 % of GDP ( IMF |
| Pakistan: 70 %+ range of GDP . Wiki |

| GDP per Capita (Nominal / PPP) |
| Israel: ~ USD 56,440 per person (PPP; from IMF data) IMF |
| Iran: ~ USD 19,960 (PPP per person) IMF |

| Pakistan: ~ USD 1,828 nominal; ~ USD 6,955 PPP (2025) Wikipedia |
Your Pars TV, Iran International lies to match the IMF.
No contest. IR leaders need to shut the F up and practice less propaganda. IR has had many blunders with foreign policy. The Palestinian issue is not our problem. Agitating world Jewry was stupid, and the dream of dead clerics and dinosaur ideologs. The Embassy was a disaster. I can go on and on.
Iran’s vassals acted as a buffer when Iran did not have the missile deterrence that it has today. Iran of 2015 is much different than 2025. The US is not in the same position today, with $ 40 trillion in Debt, as it was in 2015. I live here. I know what is going on. People with multiple degrees are living paycheck to paycheck and driving UBER.
41.7 million people in the U.S. relied on SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) in fiscal year 2024, which is about 12.3% of U.S. residents.

All the economists say the U.S. is bankrupt, but perhaps you can explain how the printing presses will continue to operate indefinitely. The American people are good. Corruption and oligarchy are not exclusive to Iran. It is a worldwide problem.
The global corporations v. The people of the world.
Not all the problems are the corruption of Iranian leaders. They are corrupt. Many people need to be tried and thrown in prison, but Israel and the genocidal war criminal PM are not the answer. No matter how many times you and the fanboys line up outside the embassy in London, you'll get your asses handed to you.
