You're being extremely unfair.
How could you say smtg like that?
Of course our industry is much stronger today than it was back then, but back then was 4 decades ago bro! With all this oil and gas we were bound to grow.
Iran was set to become a G-8 economy by the 90's. We were having double digit growths every year. Every major industry that we have today has its roots from back then. Iran Khodro, Pars Khazar etc... are just a couple of example of major corporations that began before the rev times. It took us untill 2000 to get our GDP back to 1978 levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's INSANE. We lost half a trillion dollars in the 8 year war directly. The indirect costs are in the trillions.
My grandparents had a SOUTH KOREAN maid. I repeat, a SOUTH KOREAN maid. SKs were coming to Iran back then for work. That's where we were.
shah doesn't believe he can stand on his feet by being supported from people. he never believe iran can produce military stuff. after revolution in 80's even when iran was in war and under heavy sanction, we produced lot of things like different rifles,MGs,ammunition,mine and UAV's. by the late of 80's we exported our products to other countries.
why shah never did it? only buying? he had great plans for industry specially electronic and aerial, but it wasn't enough at all,
because of that i'm saying we need to keep both regime's strong points and plans together in a new government.
and as i said, our economy was better in shah's time.
Plus, our last beautiful queen confirmed me lately.
