True, but depending on oil instead of your nation's technological capabilities is quite risky and an economy based on commodities rather than high valued goods like turbofans for Aircraft or semiconductors for the consumer electronic industry is vulnerable to the outside market's boom and bust...
Don't forget complex integrated circuits and semi-conductors :). I remember an statement from an deceased Electrical Engineer professor, in which he said that the biggest problem Iran has got is the fact that they have oil and is cursed with Hydrocarbon reserves in their nation. He also belived...
Valid statement, they have an long way to go. I don't think this an state sponsored project though.. considering the environment the students and technicians are working at in the picture.
Miniaturization technology is quite hard and complex. I mean look at the attempts of many nuclear power nation in trying to minitrazie simple fission warheads (which is less irreducibly complex compared to fusion). China, unlike Iran, did not have to face economic sanction or had direct...
I think the Iranians accidentally created an fusion device that can be fitted on an Space-craft, considering it's size. Countries like SA could only dream of Iran's science credentials.
Is this the Indian civillian version of the X-37B (USAF space command) and Chinese Shenlong?

Iranian scientist Dr. Kaveh Sookhak Lari has established a universal formula for Sherwood equation thought to be an impossible mathematical formula.
Almost all Formulas are usually applicable in specific conditions, known as boundary conditions.
Since 1950s, several empirical and...
The 30,000-pound Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP) is the largest bomb in the U.S. arsenal, and its new design is tailored specifically for striking Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment complex. Adam Entous and Julian Barnes at The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that not only has the MOP...
It's will be before they will have white servants, that's for sure. On topic: How many Type-052D will be needed in an typical PLAN CBG and will the Type-055 Cruiser play an more substantial role in fleet defence?

Turkey contributed more than $1bn (£66m) in humanitarian aid last year, making it the fourth-largest government donor, highlighting the role of new countries in the aid landscape.
Turkey, which also received...
America is an demographic mess, China, Russia and India will probably be leading the world's civilian domestic technology in the future. Immigrants that have H1B visa that work in the semi-conductor industry and sillicon valley are mostly South/East Asians and Eastern European. Anglo-Americans...
Who will win over an hypothetical confrontation over the issue of the River Nile? Will Egypt take the lead because of technological superiority or will Ethiopian political support and geographic parameters will defeat Egypt?
