  1. It's important to be aware of such snap-shots of Iran's consumer economy. Mainstream media sources would have us believe that Iran's economy is in ruins, and in such dire shape the Iranians have been driven to the negotiating table over their nuclear program. While sanctions have indeed adversely affected Iran, the triumphalist narrative is in certain respects flawed.

    Iran is not nearly in the shape as seen during the transition from USSR to CIS, Iraq in 1999 or today's North Korea. It remains viable, capable of a space program, allied war effort and even stocking shelves with consumer goods in brand new shopping megamalls.

    1. So who can afford to buy these consumer goods at 62% inflation rate? Unlike you who has not set foot to Iran I was there last year and I could see the shops were stuck with cheap Chinese garbage of no practical use made in some sweatshop!

      I am surprised that you did not bring in US during prohibition or before to justify these sort of rhetoric. You are old enough to be wise enough to avoid these dillusions sir!

      .. Iran is not nearly in the shape as seen during the transition from USSR to CIS, Iraq in 1999 or today's North Korea. It remains viable, capable of a space program, allied war effort and even stocking shelves with consumer goods in brand new shopping megamalls...

      Bravely said!

      Iran is country that has one of the highest inflation rates in the World. Follows a backward ideology called Islam. Iran has highest number of brain drains in the World. Majority of Iranians need at least two jobs to feed their familiy. The Country is practically bankrupted by the regime. There is no single bank in Iran taht can do a foreign transactions, so it has to rely on dozds like like that guy Zangani who did few billions oill fraud to play tricks. All this and we are standing up and admiring a shopping centre and compare ourselves with likes of North Korea.

      How about South Korea that in one generation have managed to leap frog to leaders in prosperity? Why don't you compare us with them?

    4. Wrong analogy and historically incorrect. South Korea is a US occupied country and has been the beneficiary of massive US, western and Japanese aid and investment. You have have missed the history lesson to realize that the US has over 60,000 occupation troops in South Korea. Iran has been on the receiving end of US and western hostility since the days of Dr. Mossedegh, despite that it has survived without capitulation.

    5. It's astounding that whenever people, even Iranians abroad see IRAN as a country with simple a shopping mall, they become sick and bark about lies and british cosnpiracy.... Strange, are they really iranians at first and are they even using their small brains?????? IRAN like any country has its emerging class, its rich class and its poor class... Problem is, during Ahmaghinejad's term, the last one grew up... Which means there is an urgency improving the economy, and that's exactly the aim of Rohani (I hope he sticks to it). But denying IRAN's reality for politics is just typical of those who never left a foot there...

      Plain folks: The plain folks technique attempts to convince the listener that the speaker is a 'regular guy', who is trust-worthy because the are like 'you or me'.

      Pot calling the kettle black. You seem to use the one liners found in Anti-Iran Campus Manual of the terrorist fascist regime when confronted by realities that the Islamic regime has bankrupted Iran.

    Stop thinking like a hypocrite and go and live in "free" North Korea. I rather live in "a US occupied country" than some country that is receiving handouts from China and living in total poverty. The reason why South Korea, Japan and Germany are successful is because they received massive US aid and are industrious. And most inportant of all,don't hold grudges for something that happened over sixty years ago. Believe me those countries suffered more than Iran and don't hold a fraction of grudges than "Iranians" like you do.

    The only person responsible for the destruction of the Iranain economy is the valih-e-faqih and the system of the ideological regime that he leads. Rouhani and the rest of those so-called "presidents" do as they are told or else.

      Wrong. The ones responsible for the destruction of the Iranian economy are the western powers that imposed illegal sanctions on Iran. Point your fingers at them.

      Don't try to be a smart ass and look up the reasons why the west imposed those santions in the first place.You will see that all roads will lead to the valih-e-fagih and his cronies.
