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).
