I have noticed in recent months articles on Iranian science doing well cropping up on the forum all the time.
On almost each and every occasion Israeli or Saudis have questioned the sources and suggested that maybe it is propaganda.
I myself have felt that maybe the Iranians are working harder as they are under sanctions etc. This is relevant to us Pakistanis as we are often sanctioned by America or threatened with sanctions. In any event I am happy for my Iranian brothers.
I have gone to an independent site and it allows us to compare countries.

No one can say this is an Israeli or Iranian source etc.
In the first search I have compared Iran Israel Saudi and Pakistan. I am shocked Iran is was ahead of all other 3 Saudi are bottom. Though Pakistan and Saudis would appear to be getting better Pakistan is ahead os Saudi.
The shocking thing is that Iran is miles ahead of Israel and is going further. This must be particularly pleasing for Iranians cos whilst they have sanctions to cope with Israel is the only country that gets hard cash grants from America for its research in science.
