Current construction projects in Tabriz, Iran

Like other urban centers in the Islamic Republic of Iran but in certain ways more so, Tabriz is currently a beehive of construction activity. All of these photos were taken within the past six months, many in 2013. For those insistent in their belief that Iran's economy is on the brink of collapse, such photographic evidence renders such as further examples of "analysis by means of wishful thinking."

Above: scenes inside the Hyperstar supermarket. Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett have returned from Iran a number of times (most recently in December '12), reporting that stores and shops in the country are fully stocked, with significant customer traffic. Here is the photographic evidence to prove it.

Great job as usual Mark. Iranians should be proud of this amazing progress despite sanctions. The economic progress is now quite evenly distributed and not confined to Tehran alone. It also shows the industrious nature of Iranians.

A LETTER TO PAUL IDDON!

Now because you have not visited the country but depend on 'informed confidants' as your source of news of the IRANIAN Nation,-so here is what your confidants did not want you to know about the country!.

@now will you run something to counter this as another 'bunch of lies from Mark'?

@you have a difficult time in convincing your readers how a gangster can build the environment for such development projects to flourish in the country!.

@B.M.A.....Have you ever visited the country?

Or has that Fanboy who posted this rosy picture ever visited the country?

No one needs to convince us that the Islamic rapist theocracy is an demonic gangster regime that needs to be eliminated by the people.

And no one needs to dictate to us least of all a little toerag Islamist that he knows the country better than its own citizens.

Really? If that's the case go and ask one of your bosses,mullah Taeb,why he rather forsake Khuzestan for Syria?

Any word if Tabriz will being getting a metro/subway system anytime soon?

Why post such frivolous nonsense that repeats a rather insane line. What does Khuzestan have to do with Syria? Are you a complete dolt? Obviously a resounding YES!

What has Khuzestan got to do with Syria? If you have any "pride in being Iranian" go and ask your boss mullah Taeb that ignorant question. Obviously you haven't a clue what your bosses are planing against Iran.I'm not surprised because mullahs have been relaying on cretins and automatons since they occupied Iran.

Double your medication and also do some breathing exercises and yoga and quit reading debka or you will end up like Nothing Yahoo eating $2000 worth of US deadbeat taxpayer ice-cream or even worse, more like Sharon, totally braindead.
