“The share of industry in Iranian GDP is 35%. It is one of the largest industrial states on earth. Iran produces more than 1 million motor vehicles and 32 million tons of steel per annum, putting it consistently in the top ten. As Patricia Marins notes, Iran punches above its weight in scientific research, ranking in the top ten by scientific output in nanotechnology, neural networks, aerospace and mechanical engineering, and chemistry. How is it that Iran has been able to do all this under the most onerous regime of Western sanctions? What is the underlying source of Iranian power? The underlying source of Iranian power is the size and skill-set of the Iranian populace. Iran has a population of 93 million, a youth literacy rate of 100%, a high school graduation rate of 70% and a college graduation rate of 20%. Its urbanization rate is 78%, and it already has a sub-replacement fertility rate of 1.70. Iran has over 150 Phd-granting universities; some 230,000 Iranians holds PhDs. At 335,000 per annum, Iran ranks fifth in the world in the number of STEM graduates. It churns out 230,000 engineers every year, almost as many as the United States. The human resources at the disposal of the Iranian nation are formidable and the underlying reason for Iranian military strength.” Iran is a Great Power, by @policytensor.


Sospeso per 5 giorni per aver difeso il Parlamento. Per loro il fascismo non è un reato, ma una medaglia. Ho agito da uomo delle istituzioni. Leggendo la Costituzione in sala stampa alla Camera dei Deputati insieme ad altri 31 parlamentari. E lo rivendico.
