Iranian money: worthless
Iranian passport: less then worthless
Iranian entertainment, arts, personal freedoms: heavily constrained by the government
Inflation: endless
Jobs: non-existent
War, sanctions and endless uncertainty: permanent state of Iran post-revolution
Nuclear program: hundreds of billions spent, and possibly trillions in sanctions and opportunity losses.. result: some worthless dirt that destroyed Irans economy with no benefit of a nuclear bomb..
The Iranian government has absolutely failed miserably and historically in every imaginable metric except for : independence and internal security (big stuff like insurgency, regional separatism etcc).
Now that Iran has become the new lebanon thanks to their stupidity where the US and israel will bomb and “ mow the lawn “ as they please every 6 months….. what doees the government have left to offer the Iranian people?
Iranians are extremely patriotic and will rally around the flag when an outside threat emerges. But once that dies down, the full wrath and frustration are going to come down like an avalanche.
The IR regine thinks this temporary boost in national unity is permenant. And is gravely miscalculating if they think Iranians are going to accept another 40 years of khamenei Incompetence….
It is remarkable how badly they have played their hand in this war…. They had everything going for them and they completely pissed it away
