Iran should be in the top 5 or atleast top 10! From my persomal view, it is the lack of seperation of state and religion that is the root problem.

no dude it's not happened over a night, logically it's not possible. about trigger, as you know necessity is the mother of invention when you are under toughest sanction ever, when Iran is treated unfairly there is no alternative option to survive except being independent and science plays a crucial rule in this battle.
