There is much room for improvement in Iran, but it will never be able to materialize if these forces have their say.

Totalitarianism and authoritarian collectivism is not the answer

They had the natural progression overturned 3 times now by foreign forces afaik. Time for Sumerians to try and establish former glory in their own way.

They'd just become an extension of America like the rest of the world is becoming. Long ago maybe one could believe that is okay but the West is decaying and clearly liberal democracy isn't the "truth". Authority isn't inherently tyranny. Irans problem is it has a government is built on religious fantastic which holds them back.

In what ways does Iran's government "hold them back"? Name three.

A culture enslaved to religious dogma(especially that of Islam) will always be held back from higher forms of culture by the negative effects that has on developing great minds and artists.

I asked you to name three ways in which Iran's government "holds them back." All you did was provide vague mumbo-jumbo. Here are some examples of Perso-Islamic high culture, all of which were produced under theocratic regimes:

In fact, pretty much all great art and architecture everywhere in the world was produced by intensely religious people. The greatest art and architecture in the Western world, for example, was produced under Christendom. It is the modern West, which has totally severed itself from religion, which is totally bereft of any high culture. There is nothing from the modern West that can match the beauty of Gothic architecture like Notre Dame cathedral or Canterbury cathedral. The modern West has absolutely nothing to offer to Iran or any other traditional society, except modern weapons and advanced military technologies (which Iran is developing by itself, and is being extremely sanctioned as a result).
