Fuckyoumod:
"It costs up to 10 billion rials ($5,350)."

When 10 billion of your currency is equivalent to $5350, and you are more interested in building nuclear weapons to wipe Israel off the surface of the earth, you continue to export and fund terrorism across the globe, you continue to engage in a war that you can never win against the U S. While your people continue to suffer economic hardship.

Then it means you are sick in the brain! Only a mentally ill person will continue in this part of total destruction. The Ayotallahs and Kheimanei's are sick poor.

After midterm elections in September, Trump will visit them once more and cure their madness.
You humans are very gullible.

Even with internet access, you had no reason to even research about the possibility.

The cheapest domestic made vehicle in Iran is

However, on the ground, Iran's physical infrastructure and industrial base are vastly different from Nigeria's:

Key Physical & Economic Contrasts
Power Generation & Grid Capacity: Iran produces roughly 90,000 MW+ of electricity for a population of ~88 million people, compared to Nigeria's grid output which historically hovers around 4,000–5,000 MW for over 220 million people.

Fuel & Gas Subsidies: Iran holds some of the world's largest natural gas reserves and heavily subsidizes energy, making domestic gas and electricity among the cheapest on
earth for its citizens.

Refining & Industrial Base: Iran refines almost all its fuel domestically, maintaining an extensive network of domestic manufacturing, industrial plants, rail networks, and public transport systems despite sanctions.

Standard of Living Metrics: Iran's Human Development Index (HDI) ranks in the "High" category (approx. 0.73-0.78 range), whereas Nigeria ranks lower (approx. 0.53-0.55 range), reflecting differences in life expectancy, literacy, and baseline urban infrastructure.

While Iran faces major long-term structural economic pressures, its industrial and physical infrastructure provides a baseline for daily domestic utilities (like electricity and domestic energy supply) that remains significantly more developed than Nigeria's current power grid.

HacheNoire:
Like Iran has something going for them pre war!

Iran is ready to endure as long as the world remains on chokehold by energy prices.

They have all the cards!

US reserves already depleted. It cannot not cushion the effect for long again, and why Trump is losing it and recently just threatened to bomb Oman is it negotiates with Iran.

We all know who is the under pressure- the world. Iran has been through it and built for these times.

Leadership is everything to the followers
Followers is everything to the leaders.
In this life, Pray you are not unfortunate with a wrong leader
You see en,
My people say one adage
the ability to fight and also run away sometimes is the credibility of a brave man

When the time comes, when the followers suffer reach, Dem go summon bravery through frustration and commont the wrong leader

Even under bombardment from the US, their economic indices are still far better than ours in Nigeria. Is that not telling us of the kinds of leaders that we have?

Their Minimum wage is about $88 while ours is approximately $53.

Their govt is still paying citizens support. Which one are we getting?

Such comparisons are always apples and oranges. Iran, unlike Nigeria and most African so-called "countries", is a true nation made up primarily of the Perisan people with their native language as their national language. Iran shares this characteristic with the vast majority of non-African countries all over the world from Europe to Asia. It's a culturally homogenous nation state. This is why it is able to strong and functional even in times of war.

Nigeria, on the other hand, is not an actual nation but merely a geographical zone in which numerous independent ethnic nations of people were arbitrarily delineated and trapped, and is ruled over with iron fist by Islamic overloads on behalf of western interests.

Thus, making economic comparisons between true nation states like Iran and occupied zones like Nigeria is silly at best.
