My ex was iranian and we frequently talked about iran and you are so wrong.

She had frequent black outs with complete electricity downage for many hours a day and she was in a major city

One of the largest problems is that Iran's average income is so poor and the rising inflation and rising prices.

They didn't even have a battery or something which could store electricity while it came because the batteries were so expensive that one of them cost like 1 month of salary of average iranian.

Things were really tough, she told me about the education system and she had to recently move to govt school and she said that there were just not any books available.

She really disliked the regime. She was liberal and I asked her about hijab and she said that she was forced to wear in schools and that the only contacts that they usually did was with their brothers. The society is extremely strict to a point of no return.

The average Iranian person either barely scrapes by or was/is actively being suffered by authoritarian brutality from the ground reality of extremist islamist radicalism that their govt put them on.
