The Islamic Republic of Iran is, in addition to being the archenemy of the United States and the West, one of the most unknown countries in the Middle East. We are talking about a giant with more than 80 million inhabitants and one of the 20 largest countries in the world in terms of surface area.
A country dominated by a rigid elite of clerics and old-fashioned, radical and fundamentalist jurists, an unyielding layer of power under which lies hidden a completely different country. Can you imagine Iran becoming a kind of Australia in the heart of the Middle East? Would such a thing be possible?
It is possible that by the time you finish watching this video your image of Iran will have changed forever.

Meanwhile Im an Australian with almost my entire engineering team being of Persian background. They are some of the smartest, well spoken and kindest people you will ever meet.
Nobody hates iranians, everyone hates iran.
@@yurichtube1162 nobody hates Iran only westerners and Saudi, Turkey hate them.
As a persian who was born and raised in sweden i appreciate you mate 👍🏻
I love that you used the term Persian. Most people dont know this but Persia was the first world power in history and Cyrus the Great is arguably the greatest ruler in human history, fellow Aussie here
@@tovarisch3039 they describe themselves as Persians so I just follow suit. Definitely a great history and culture :)
Greetings from Greece (Yunanistan) my Persian brothers.I love you guys.
Thanks a ton dude. Long live Greece and Greek people. but we do not refer Greece as Yunanistan in here. We call your glorious country >>> YOONAN.
I think that Turkish people add the .Stan. at the end. (in this particular case)
have a good one.
Thanks
But we say Yunan
We love the great Hellas either 💚💙
Thank you, vassal.
We conquered you and defeated you in the ancient times, but it's alright, greeks are good people and we forgive you for your boundless stupidity and transgressions. You were punished as you deserved it but now we like you. Don't worry. :)
many of the college professors we have in Oman are Iranians, and honestly, they are my favorite
Shia lover Abadi ..... an enemy of islam
@@ShadyAli17
Islam is its own enemy, and dont you worry , most iranians dont even identify with that desert cult anymore , the regime has shown the true face of islam to the people of iran. They are not shia.(at least not the ones below the age of 50)
@@a.d8509 Well said! As an Iranian, I fully confirm what you said. We’re no longer Muslims. Islam has already fallen in Iran thanks to the super corrupt and brutal Islamic regime.

Iranian are some of the smartest, well spoken and kindest people you will ever meet.
agreed. but not so the ayatollahs and religious fanatics ruling the country. Ahemedinjad's reckless statements when he was the presdident of the country gave shivers of another impending Gulf war.
Hi . If you are interested in watching Iran Virtual Walking Tour, I would be happy to host you at Journey Vibes. 4K 60fps quality 🎦❤... in the northern and green cities of Iran. thank you😍
The self praise is unbecoming. We’re supposed to be humble. ;p
Iran is a great country to travel. Very safe, decent infrastructure, nice people and unimaginable cheap for foreigners. The only problem is that it is basically impossible to withdraw money or pay with anything else then cash. And Taarof…
Not true. You can get a debit card and spend rials anywhere using poses or draw cash at any atm regardless of what bank the card belongs to. I think this is unique in the world but I could be wrong. But don't change your foriegn fiat money in the banks. The open market rates are much much better.
Taarof😂😂👍👍👍

Hi I’m Sourena, an Iranian master of international business student,living abroad. I often follow your channel and have always found your videos useful but this time I am truly impressed that you to published a video on this subject. People like you help Iranian people become aware and gather to correct the current problems. Thank you so very much for this. I also think this subject still has some capacity to be discussed more maybe in another video so I suggest that you make a second part to this, and if you want, I’m willing to help you do so.
I'll also be interested to help the Visual Politik channel in case you'd be interested to take a deeper look at the impediments and bottlenecks of this dream transition.

Married to an Iranian, and I have to say they are some of the nicest and smartest people from the Middle east that I have met. Minus their religion and food(although they are lovers of all types of foods and boast about their safron icecream), they have alot in common with Italians, Greeks and other Europeans than most would think, and find them they best at understanding the world around them and integrating into western countries compared to other middle eastern countries.
I find they're very intelligent and their kindness is actually very sincere, but that is from my own experience so take that as you will.
Iranians are lovely people. The ones I have met traveling are extremely well educated. They can take a joke and you can have good banter. A good example on TH-cam ‘ElectroBoomGuy’.
They really need to sort out there political system. So much potential.
Hi Sourena! I hope you find success in your ventures and I hope and pray that Iran can one day throw off its shackles and take its rightful place in the world.
When I was a child, We had an Iranian family living in our community. They were the best people! I've met and worked with many other Iranians over the years and respected all of them.
Someday, I hope I can visit Iran and meet the people as friends and I welcome all Iranians to my country. Love and respect from Canada!
Iran always had potential. Long live Iran. Love from Goa.

Both enemy of Kurds.
@@yurichtube1162 Kurds made an enemy of themselves if they actually listen they are ironic Persians and Kurds and lubes and Azeri and etc.. are iranic but u guys think u are special that why not everyone likes u guys if u were a real ironic person like myself u would support a iranic union but u guys want a country
@@lone9310 we Kurds are a distinct ethnic group, with our own languague, culture, flag and history. If you truelly wanted a federation or an union with the Kurds you would had allowed them to have a state and respect them. After all, Iranians and Kurds are cousins. We could had worked together to become the most powerful force in the middle east. Instead, we are enemies. It is what it is.
@Yurichtube iranians and kurds aren't cousins. kurds are by definition an iranic tribe which means they are so much more closer than you think. lingually, culturally and historically.
just understand that everyone in iran are opressed by the regime and the other iranic tribes don't hate kurds or support their opression.
@@yurichtube1162 u are ur own ethnic group we used to be proto ironic and then we stared to separate a bit but right now we are historically,genetically, linguistically very similar as Persians,Kurds,luhrs,Azeri,are like siblings who came from the same parents

Long before Rome was even a city, the Persian Empire spanned the entirety of the known world. Iranians know this and the renaissance of the "Code of Cyrus" and increasing interest in ancient Iran is making the young people want to reclaim their history as an enlightened Empire run by competent people and not idealistic zealotry.
@Terry Cupboards By the way, did you know the Rome you speak of was founded by Persians who migrated there? That's why Romans and Iranians had the same religion, they were both Mirtha and worshiped the same Gods. Many Iranian Prince and Princesses lived in Rome before their coronation during the Parthian era. Sure Romans and Persians fought, but who doesn't fight for real estate? History matters.
True, Iranians have an amazing history that they need to revive. People in Lebanon hope so too! We also need the Iranian regime to get over this unIslamic 'Islamic Revolution', stop funding wars in the Levant region, and instead focus on rebuilding this their beautiful country.
Sorry for all the amazing young Persians who took to the streets in 2019 and were murdered by their own government!
Cyrus may be persian but definitely he was not a muslim. the arrival of islam certainly had a ruinous effect on Persian civilization and society.
I dearly hope for that day to come sooner rather than later. As a Brit with growing interest in Iran and Persian history, I hope Iran will rise to its rightful place in the future. The sanctions on the country are a disgrace.

Iran: has lot's of oil and very little democracy
US: *heavy breathing*
The US is the one that messed it all up in the first place
Saudi Arabia has entered the chat (dictatorship that the USA bows too with vast oil reserves).
But Saudi Qatar UAE not!!!
As an iranian persian when i watch these videos it brings a tear to my eye to see my country fall the way it did and what we couldve and would be.
many iranians like me have had to leave our country to be free and i hope that at least in my lifetime id be able to go back and visit again
Hi, I'm Australian living in Perth. There are a few people running business' (fast food ). They sell kebabs or roasted chickens. When I ask them about the culture of their food they will say that they are Persians. Is there a difference between Persians and Iranians?
Dont believe this video through. Iran's potential always meant US wouldn't give it space to prosper. The idiots in this video claim otherwise. A super power? It just ain't serious. The big issue with Iran is it wants to be independent. The west wants it as a local prostitute as majority of other local countries actually are. Saudis with most expensive army in region doesnt seem to do anything useful with its potential correct me if I'm wrong. Ur country and its population in my opinion cant afford the stupid idea of freedom. My country Bulgaria was in former Warsaw pact. We been with west for enough to know now who was doing more for our benefit. The Soviets made US vassals. The west would end the country. Similar can go for most of the Warsaw pact countries. Huh. It wasnt about ideology at end of day. Iran wont prosper under US sun. A 5min thing maybe but no longterm.

@@ivokantarski6220 the Iranian opposition will sell the whole country to the west just to be in power
These western wannabes are so disgusting as if US sanctions
Is not the reason why iran is poor
@@mahdiadib9295 If Ayatollah regime falls, Iran will be divided in to several parts, northern part would be ceased by Azerbaijan, Kurds in Iran will connect with Iraqi Kurds, Southern part of Iran will go through ugly separatism given their close proximity to Arabs.
All things put up by this guy would just simply vanish.
Many had the same idea about Libya 10 years ago. A website called "Strategy Page" said "in months after Gaddaffi's ouster, democracy will itself guide libya to a prosperous path, given tsunami of European investment would come into the country's energy sector".
But, Lo and behold, only thing EU got was Libya acting as world's refugee and smuggler's haven!!
When things becomes worse for the common man and they don’t have food and jobs, religion isn’t going to save the Ayatollahs.
@Truth Seeker and what about the 25% inflation rate in IRAN and the 20% unemployment rate ?? And not to mention the declining GDP per capita
well things are definitely hard but oh please...
what more do you want? they survived 40+ years of sanctions and world isolation
and they survived 4 years of Trump maximum pressure 2 tries to start unrest, sanctions short of sanctioning oxygen, travel bans, medical supply shortages, a corona pandemic, and yet they survived it while still maintaining their regional advances and are back on track on re-implementing the JCPOA while they have also done a massive deal with China, which means that the west has lost a LOT of significant and strategic opportunities in Iran to China. The loser, in the long run, is the west, not the Mullahs.
@Truth Seeker Iran didn't sabotage anything, the ones sabotaging are the Americans. Iran is merely trying to salvage the status quo.
Iran didn't create Hezbollah in Lebanon, yes it played a major role in funding trining and supporting them, but Iran didn't create Hezbollah nor is it running it.
Infact, Iran and the USA are natural allies, and no, Iran does not pose any threat to American interests in the ME but to American allies namely Saudi Arabia and Israel.
They are the true reason behind all of what we see over there.
The biggest issue with the Americans is the hate they have towards the Iranians for having been the only country to have successfully ridicule them for dacades now, having been able to kick them out take their diplomats hostage and having failed miserably to free them, they have not only stood their ground against the americans, they have also been able to have a steady advance in defencive capabilites and building infrastructure despite all the sanctions.
@Truth Seeker then since iran is such a powerful country better for the American and the rest not to meddle with iran or they will be crushed ;-)
@Truth Seeker sanctions won't be there if they weren't fascists

I’m an Iranian and I have to say the last thing the Shah was,was a lousy manager.
Yes,In terms of democracy we didn’t had democracy,specially during the last 8 years of his rule but let’s not forget: social freedom was at it’s peak both for men and women,Iran’s foreign policy was almost perfect,Iran was industrialising and economy was growing faster than South Korea.
In the end he was a patriot and a good politician with many of his policies being brilliant ( that doesn’t mean he didn’t have bad policies).
It may surprise you that today,he is very popular between Iranians specially the young generation and people were chanting his name during all the major protests since 2017.
Iran has the potential to become a global superpower. Economically, militarily and culturally. They can surpass turkey and arab league. Their population has the progressive growth mindset but they are locked in by their leaders.
Remember the Emu War? Wait until the ostrich war!
they will unify with the Australia and form the Ostrich-Emu commonwealth.
for the record their corrupt government is screwing over their people and their potential is wasted
only because sanction by west
insha'Allah if we eliminate 52 US bases around iran that threatens our existence.
US regime's threat to the global peace
What you smoking son? Locked by the Ledar!!!!!!! Probably you don’t understand the world
@@MrMalmir You are delusional to think that the US or the West is overly concerned about Iran's fate or destruction. Iran may be a significant but it's ultimately a small factor in the West's overall geopolitical calculus when there are far bigger considerations like China, Russia, India. Iran isn't even on the same league in geopolitical terms. The people you should be most concerned about threatening ur existence are your fellow Muslim "brothers", the Sunni cartel who always see Shia as a rival for dominance in the Ummah.
As an Iranian, I REALLY don't like someone calls my country "land of ayatollahs". Yes it runs by an ayatollah but it's not "land of ayatollahs" at all.
Iran is "land of the aryans" ❤️
I've been lucky to meet a fee Persians, they have all been kind, shrewd and very smart people. It has always frustrated me why their country hasn't done better.
Iranian people are very educated. They are the descendants of the Mighty Persian Empire. Logically this country can become one among the most promising nations in this world, but i think as long as the current political system stay, nothing will really getting changed 😐😐🙄🙄
@Win Everything it's true that 40 years ago they chose the Islamic Republic system by themselves, but you must remember about at that time no one know how Islamic Republic system is, Khomeini promised so many things like freedom, good life, etc, but instead, he installed an another dictatorship that even more worse (because this time they using religion).
So many Iranians regret this decision, and thanks to the islamists who hijacked the true spirit of the Revolution for more than 40 years, the young generation of Iran now seems like have been fed up with islamism.
@Win Everything Exactly. I heard from some surveys that the so-called "Islamic Republic of Iran" is not even a Shia majority country now 😆. If this is not hilarious, idk what is it 🤭🤭🤣
@Win Everything i am not say that i am happy with that, but i just find that this is so hillarious :v
@S SoHeeloe No doubt. Hopefully the glorious Persian civilization will making a comeback soon

As an Israeli, I can tell that prior to the Islamic revolution Israel and Iran were close friends. There is nothing we'd like to see more than the disappearance of the Islamic regime and the success of the Iranian people, which my family descents from.
Some may wish to see the disappearance of the zionist regime
@@moneylineparlay105 cool 😎 next thing on my agenda
That's a pure myth..
yes they did have full diplomatic relations just like Israel does with Turkey, yet they were far from good and warm.
Nevertheless, there's absolutely no real reason why Iran should be so hateful of Israel.. they should have good relations given the historical connections between them,.
Iran is a very special place of great importance. That's not just my opinion, it's also what any Iranian you ask where to find the Train Station will tell you;)
No seriously, the iranian people are overall an incredibly welcome addition to our german society, most I got to know are - just like many arabs - the exact opposite of what our most prejudiced people expect of them: soft spoken, well educated, well mannered and HILARIOUS!
Hearing an Iranian talk me through his first weeks in Germany was one of the best real life stand up bits i've witnessed!
I wish nothing but the best on all people but Iran has a special place in my heart for sure. Maz Jobrani etc are fantastic at delivering the exact idea of what I mean
2,500 years of persia's history proved that oppresion doesn't last forever
dictators will fall down.
Wish equality and better life for all people around the globe

I remember, after JCPA was signed, companies in EU was stamping each other in Tehran international airport because they all wanted to be the first to sign deals in their industries.
It was a shame it fell through, Trump followed the Israel way to much, they know of Iran's potential and they fear it, more than nuclear bombs, their strategic position could become hopeless with a powerful Iran, same story for other gulf states that's why all of a sudden they tolerate Israel, even has they further force an apartheid on Palestinians.
Shame on Trump. Bad apple.

Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed and also learned a lot from this also like to thank you for showing the true side of Iran. keep up the good work.
bravo very well explained.
In Iran We are jealous of only one country and that is South Korea. In the 1960s, Iran and Korea began to industrialize together. Even in the 1970s, Iran was more advanced than South Korea. But in 1979 revolution happened, and in 1980s there was a war and after the war sanctions started Now Kia and Hyundai of Korea produce the best cars. But Saipa and IKCO Iran assemble Chinese cars. LG and Samsung have taken over the world. But Azamyesh and Arj Companies of Iran was completely bankrupt 20 years ago
This is very hard for us
Iran will bounce back mark my words, like it always have throughout it's glorious history, it's inevitable. It's enemies can try all they want but they will never succeed.

Iran has been under the strictest of sanctions for over 40 years. Most countries would have collapsed due to these pressures. Nevertheless the Iranian government managed to keep the country in one piece. Far from being mismanaged, the Iranians have been able to produce their own technologies and the production of local goods is highest it has been in centuries. Iran used to be a consumer economy importing most of the goods needed. Under the Shah oil was the only source of income Iran had. Iranian goods today are proliferating throughout the middle east. These include both industrial goods as well as consumer goods. It is unfortunate that this video is misinforming the audience.
So, as usual, and long story short; The government is a pain in the neck and the people they rule are actually really nice. All too familiar, unfortunately
I've met and worked with a LOT of Iranians over my lifetime and there wasn't a single one I didn't like and respect.
Super smart, super motivated and super nice.... IF you respect them and their culture.
If there was a way to get rid of the stone age zealots who run that country, and those people could really show what they could do,.... watch out!!
Every Persian I have known has been wonderful. I dated a Persian girl once. She sweet, smart and cuddly.
You people take in too much western propaganda. The people are how they are exactly because of their government. Iran is one of the more liberal states in the middle east. Their women are allowed to drive, allowed to go to school. they have one of the highest female participation percentages in higher education and in STEM subjects, all this under the Ayatollahs. Trans people have been recognised in Iran since 1987, when did the west start doing that? The Ayatollahs are more forward looking than most states in region especially more so than than the most of the allies of the US. The only problem is they have been under attack from the US since the revolution that kicked out the USs' favourite puppet and took back the oil from western oil companies. Iran would be much greater than it is right now if it was not for US sanctions put in place for them daring to follow the interests of their own country and not that of corporate America.
Long story short is US involvement. before the Islamic Revolution and the Shah was a democratically elected prime minister that got illegally removed by the US.
Fun fact: at 3:26 pilot took khumaini (RA) hands and become muslim was because airplane had low fuel and was meant to get destroyed at middle of journey. The rest of clip is loads of BS by the way.
I also want Iran and the Iranians to prosper, and yes, a large part of this has to come from changes on their end. But we in the West need to work with them to achieve their potential, and that's never going to happen if we keep drawing down on them. You don't work with someone who keeps threatening to strike you down.
Make friends, not enemies.
Make friends with the people, not enemies. As for the governments, well they seldom represent the people.
@@maverick7291 The people do not matter in dictatorships and Iran is one.
@@itzikashemtov6045 that is an unfortunate truth.
@@maverick7291 Wells they do have some anti-government protests ongoing now but I don't see much reporting on this in western media, i guess western powers don't expect the Iran government to change anytime soon.
@@itzikashemtov6045 you from radio israel?!
Your channel is so good that I endure the unsavory yellow teeth of the speaker every time. Jane
Exactly, we want Simon Back!
Shiiate is much more tolerant religion than others from middle east, Iranians integrate well with other communities. It is just the politicians there and in the west doesnt go well each other.
@Баҳор Парсей Yes they do, but thats the politicians in Iran, people of Iran are peace loving they dont even follow harsh rules in Islam..
The yellow teeth is a sore sight! Can you guys change the white balance?!
hahaha
It is by videos, like yours, spreading enlightenment, that iran will awake, thankyou! Great job.
Hi . If you are interested in watching Iran Virtual Walking Tour, I would be happy to host you at Journey Vibes. 4K 60fps quality 🎦❤... in the northern and green cities of Iran. thank you😍
Iran has got two sides, what media usually say and what the reality is. It has for sure a big potential to develop as it was before the revolution of 1979.
Hi . If you are interested in watching Iran Virtual Walking Tour, I would be happy to host you at Journey Vibes. 4K 60fps quality 🎦❤... in the northern and green cities of Iran. thank you😍💯🇮🇷 visit iran
I've seen some videos and docs on Iran. What a beautiful and talented people. The art. The food. Wish things were different
Fun fact: at 3:26 pilot took khumaini (RA) hands and become muslim was because airplane had low fuel and was meant to get destroyed at middle of journey. The rest of clip is loads of BS by the way.

Good job 👍
This video was interesting
Chinese already knows this,
The Islamic revolution saved Iran from suffering the same fate as modern Iraq
or stopping it from becoming modern day South Korea or Japan
@@senatorpalpatine7981 They are both U.S puppets to thats not a bad thing
@@hueyfreeman1983 Surely thinking that both of them are one of the worlds most prospers countries where every year hundreds of Iranians if not thousands immigrate
and not the other way around.
@@senatorpalpatine7981 Hundreds of Iranians immigrate to Japan and South Korea? Thats news to me. Either way Iran isn't some empoverished country that relies heavily on foreign imports for the most basic necessities like other countries in the region, the Iranian regime is flawed but Iran is the of the few countries in the world that doesn't bow down to America
@@hueyfreeman1983 it seems you didn't read the world bank or Iranian government reports of Iranian brain drain with an estimation of 200000 - 225000 Iranians leaving every year with a potential of 50 billion Dollars or 10 oil fields going to North America , Europe , UAE , Oman , Australia , New Zealand , India , China , Japan , South Korea , South Africa or any other country that offers them a visa. Plus reports are published by Tehran Times and Press TV about the corruption through which precious Dollar are used to purchase expensive cars like Mercedes , Audi , etc instead of life saving medicines even before the start of the pandemic. All this is a symbol of impoverishment of the Majority of the people of the country..

Love Iran from India...I have couple of friends there! They are so well-spoken...Caring... Enterprising!
Iranian expat here 🙌
Outstanding video
Way to do your homework. This is not a generic insight into Iran. Thanks for the quality info.
This was biased nonsense. See my comments above.
Hi I'm Masih and I'm living in Iran thank you for introducing us.
"perhaps one of the most unknown countries in the middle east"...lol
Just the amount of natural resources within its borders qualifies it as a superpower. Now add military, culture, history, and technology, 4 seasons, etc etc. Underrated for sure. Spot on video.
Fun fact: at 3:26 pilot took khumaini (RA) hands and become muslim was because airplane had low fuel and was meant to get destroyed at middle of journey. The rest of clip is loads of BS by the way.
10:00 whats the bass music please?
Is that why China signed that $400 billion 25 year deal?
China is taking advantage of a situation. Believe me china has only the best interest of china and no one else's, unfortunately that includes Iran.
@@maverick7291 why is it unfortunate that China looks after the interests of China? Nations don’t have permanent friends, only permanent interests right?
@@nomanor7987 The problem with China is, It traps countries like Iran into their "honey comb" strategy which it gives something nice but if you can't repay it takes something larger from you.
@@itzikashemtov6045 but doesn’t the IMF, World Bank, the EU, the USA, etc do the same? We ‘help’ you and you obey me in all things?
@@nomanor7987 Basically that, people just calling China's foreign investment "trap" because it's not IMF or world bank controlled by USA, it has "lower requirement/standard" to take a loan than IMF and it doesn't force countries to comply addon rules like work/health/political rules etc, so West are not happy about that.
Very educational video. Americans should watch this video.
They of course should also know that the US played no small part in the rise of the Ayatollahs but this very important bit of context is absent from this video.
Iran is my next destination. I’m sure I’ll love visiting the country. I follow many Iranians in Instagram and I’ve been watching videos of the country before I plan my visit. I’m very excited!
I hope you have a great time in Iran
@@user-gq4mh2hh9t Thanks 😊

We are greatly thankfull for this real depiction of our country
Since when is Iran an archenemy of the west? If at all, of the usa. Not the west lol
@@wothin Since it started acting like a terrorist state and attacking cargo ships even of countries like South Korea? Iran became garbage.
@@itzikashemtov6045 iran did not attack the cargo ship, it seized the cargo ship, because South Korea has frozen Iran's money in South Korea because of US sanctions. They are fighting for what is their own, when they failed to get it by asking for it nicely.
Itzik Ashemtov Iran seized the vessel of South Korea due to 7 billions of dollars debt to Iran , they refuse to pay and act tough that Iran can not do anything about it ! so they got what they deserve
@@itzikashemtov6045 it's still not an enemy of the west
I just cant help but notice that you have left out a teeny tiny bit of detail in this video.
The economic sanctions!
You basically made it sound like ayatollahs educated their youth, diversified the economy and created the perfect conditions to become a developed country and decided not to do it? Just stopped there?
You forgot that Iran is politically garbage, It shoots their own legs by supporting terrorism and even acting like Hitler and threatening foreign countries (Israel) openly and attacking international cargo ships of countries like Britain, Israel, South Korea and more.
@@itzikashemtov6045 I thought the topic was Irans economic potential and why it hasn’t reached its maximum.
@@itzikashemtov6045 not defending the Iranian government, but the US government is not a good boy too 😆😆
I had the same point. He keeps talking about how horrible the leadership is. But how great the country they produced is. The grew the population by 20 million. The population are business savvy and well educated. Despite the sanctions and wars they are not oil dependent and doing as well or better than their neighbor. If thats bad leadership whats good leadership?
@Ladey Babey at least iran is independent and has full sovereignty.
Unlike your country which is most likely to be a US subservient.
Dose anyone know what the song name is at the beginning?
Great video, I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money in the banks, dive into investing in digital assets because they are the future.
Invest in digital assets such as crypto, forex, and stocks they are the future. No millionaire can boldly say they made it to the top through savings.
Yes this is true, I try to tell my friends and family this but they never seem to understand, the world is moving very fast and you have to move alongside it. Sec showed recently that the bitcoin which Telsa bought in February which initially $1.5 billion has increased to $2.5 billion, you can only make such massive profits through cryptos, not through savings or manual labor.
This is a very simple question because right now, there is no difference between a person who knows how to trade and a novice because they could both earn the same amount in the crypto market. I know many people who have no idea of how the digital market operates but still make millions out of it, I'm an example of such kind of person all you need is an expert that can help you manage your trade portfolio and make massive profits as well.
Recently, Employees of a South Korean firm quit their jobs after pocketing millions in a crypto investment, very soon we will all have to seat at home and watch tv while we earn millions in crypto. I love what I'm seeing
Crypto will do to banks, what email has done to postal services.
Iran:
Amazing culture
Wonderful people
Awful regime
This is so sad, because Iran has so much potential.
You should do a video about teeth whitening industry. I heard it's huge nowadays.
Could you please elaborate?
@@AD-zg7fw he is mocking the guy in the video
@@alirazi9198 nice.
Grant is back!
Cool thanks
I think Iran also has the potential be a key player in the hydrogen economy (if they can set up the infrastructure, at least). They have a very large natural gas reserve and this can be converted to Blue Hydrogen, when the CO2 by-product is captured and stored within the ground. It's not perfect, but it's basically emissions free.

Persian empire would never fall, it always rises in one way or another throughout history
thank you for your fair analysis of iranian situation
Great video. But this big IF is the same big IF in Venezuela, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Etc. It all depends on who is in power and I don’t think those countries political situations will change anytime soon unfortunately.
Disagree, some countries even with the most leadership wouldn't be able to multiply their GDP by 4X in a single decade. It's only Iran, Venezuela, Libya and Afghanistan that can do this. But THAT'S A BIG IF!!
You cannot compare the great civilizations of persia with these countries.Even under the islamic government iran growth in sci&,tech is fastest in the world and iran had also launched a satellite in space by their own these are big achievements and all of this happen under harsh sanctions and stupid government.
I’ve meet a few Iranians that were studying in the UK. Some of the nicest, kindest and articulate people you can meet. None of them have an issue with the West. They could rebuild their country with these advantages within a few years and have great relations with the West whilst electing to make their own way in the world. What an absolute shame.
As literally everywhere. The people of a country are in 99% of cases ok. Their government is just the one who sucks

I like how the video began from *the Islamic Revolution* not discussing what caused the islamic revolution.
.... This is amongst the _crème de la crème_ of VisualPolitik
I always give a like when I learn something new from a video. In this case I wish I could give more likes than one, as this video Really changed my view of this country.
Iran doesnt want to be a prostitute of west just like most of the local countries are. That is their fault and reason for no prosperity. Giving an example as Kuwait is enough embarrassing and stupid and nothing else has to be written about this video.
All these points show why Saudi Arabia is so against Iran, the fear to lose the influence in the whole region and economic power
Yes, Saudi Arabia is really scared of Iran, however, they are psychotic and really unable to see things for what they are.
They are so religious and superstitious that they cannot see the reality of things nor ever grasp it.
@@nikolasmacedonites917 are you referring to the Islamic Republic of Iran or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? Because they both use religion in the wrong way and have held back their people's potential by being obsessed that each other's empires are out to get them. It's a two way street.
@@rmaroun yes you are right about both of them being highly disfunctuonal and problematic religious countires, but Iran is much less obsessed with Saudi Arabia than the other way round and that is purely based on the geopolitics. But also I must say that the Saudis are much more superstitious than the Iranian regime and from what I've personally observed Iranians as a whole are much less religious than the Saudis and come from a multi ethnic multi religious society.
@@nikolasmacedonites917 while your perception might be a fair reflection of the Iranians you know, I've lived in KSA and worked in Iran and tragically the latter state has been on a downhill trajectory for decades. We're not talking about which people you'd like to have a coffee with.
Tehran is so polluted most expats get sick in their 1st week, signs of poverty are everywhere, and the serious brain drain has left the country void of its rich history.
Yes, maybe the Iranians you've met are open-minded and I myself am lucky to have great Persian family friends from various sects, but unfortunately none of whom feel safe in Iran. Unless they're pretending to be Shiaa, and have a return flight booked back to their new adopted country.
From weaponised Houthis to building a Levant based army also known as Hezbollah, if anyone is obsessed with regional dominance it is Iran. The government, not the people. Hard for Iranians to do much about it, esp since the 70's the regime has been brutally killing off intellectuals, minorities, and basically anyone that objects them. From the 1988 purge that saw 30,000 Iranians murdered by their own government to the series of assassinations that lasted well into the late 90s. Even in 2019, young Iranians protesters were met with a similar fate as previous objectors to the regime, imprisonment or death. Their families were not even allowed to mourn their loss in fear of retaliation.
On the other hand, Saudi is on a fast track to nation-wide reform, tuition is covered for any citizen willing to study abroad, and their oil wealth is being invested in future industries like smart farming and fintech.
Yes, both have been impacted negatively by historical dogma, but through a top down approach Saudi Arabia is headed in the right direction and Iran has a long way to go before it sees another cultural renaissance. Of course, I hope it is sooner than later because Iran's bulldogs have done a number in this region, including Lebanon which is sinking into one of the biggest global crisis episodes that will see thousands of refugees flooding Europe.
So yes, I'm sure the Iranians you know are awesome - the world is full of them. But for the sake of the world, let's hope that country gets its ducks in order.
very good
Iran is also a country that's becoming more secular. The state might be religious but the people are becoming even less so.
🤦
Please, stop looking at some online statistics....
The irony is because of the Islamic regime there.
One thing you forgot to mention and really focus on are the sanctions. Even with the current government where it may not be 100% ideal, the economy would boom if it were not for such excessive sanctions.
Wowza some knowledge on Iran we never knew about has opened our eyes! for so long we pretty much all. Thought they were woefully dependent on oil but ooh no, if Iran warms to the west what was Persia also has the potential for tourism 🤔👏😃😙
Superb document-video visualpolitik thanks!
Comparing the postwar Vietnam economy with 1970s Iranian economy is not fair
Extremely interesting. I knew Iran was massively underperforming economically and had the potential for a much larger economy but I had no idea how huge this untapped potential is. Iranian people deserve better. Would be hugely beneficial to the Middle East as well.
