Analyze that!
Despite sanctions Iran is better off than its pro-American neighbors.
It is true. Iran is the most technologically advanced country in the middle east and in the Muslim world. It is also the most sophisticated and diverse from economic point of view. It's military might has no rival in the region either. Iran is posed to become a world power (not a superpower). No other Muslim country apart from Indonesia are on this path.
Its nemesis, Israel claims to be the most powerful in the region, yet it is totally dependent on US military and economic help. Israel relies totally on USA money as it is the most unproductive state of the American union. It is a country that parasites on US taxpayer money. It parasites also on USA military might and soldiers.
