Despite decades of sanctions, Iran has the world's busiest liver transplant center. Shiraz Organ Transplant Center: — 600+ liver transplants/year — 638 in 2018.

Why would some poor farmer want to risk his life in a war when the best he can hope for is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, people don’t want war.
