To answer your question : technically speaking, it's a developING country; however I find it much more developed than many (theoretically) developed countries I've seen.\nA note for ku_lok : it's actually the other way round.\nA note for diehard : what makes you say that?????

A developed country is a country hated by everybody else.\n\nA developed country is a country that is paranoid and this is enough reason for it to wage wars against other countries.\n\nA developed country can impose nuclear power/weaponry regulations on other countries while excluding itself from the same regulations.\n\nA developed country is a major contributor of pollution and global warming.\n\nA developed country eats most of the world's resources.\n\nA developed country houses tyranny under the guise of democracy.\n\nA developed country holds the UN by the b@lls.\n\nA developed country is the only country that has the audacity to talk about peace and global well-being when it continues to test nuclear weapons in the backyards of its neighboring countries.\n\nThe word of a developed country is cr@p.

How can you compare.  Iran is not a Democracy - it is an Islamic Theocracy.\nUnder that form of Government - you have no say as to how many hours you work.

It will be like sticking your hands in a wasp's nest.  You certainly can't say with certainty what will happen, but most likely it won't be good.\n\nThe unusual thing about IRAN is that its young progressive population is also anti-west.  These are not the camel-riding people you think of that hate the West.  These are young intellegent individuals and given a common enemy I don't think would be good for anyone (including Iran).

My Friend,\nI'm from Iran and he is our presidend who has been elected not completley by the vote of people but by the help of our leader Khamenei the leader. Ahmadi nejad who has a phd on the trafic managment major is one of the most active person in the islamic revolution of Iran, but he has never been a party of bisegeing the Us Emb(lots of ducuments can prove this) but he is so strong about the islamic rules which are changed during the years and no longer is a religion but a trap for usual people and a lader for monsters. Before the election Ahmadi Nejad was the mayor of Tehran(IRI capital) and he had cut off the tools and made lots of discouant for the people of Tehran. In the usual mood Tehran needs 6Million$ per day as the maintenance cost. But he managed there by just 2million. But that was just a light succes for him, after he is elected he showed that, he has no practical finacial mind and know nothing about finace. he will destroy Iranian finacial situation and we are hopless.

Iran's president IS nuts, basically. He's spouting nonsense for internal consumption and hasn't completely understood yet that the international media picks it up and runs with it. Iran may or may not really be nuclear capable, but the ayatollahs who really run the country want their populace to think so. In any case, don't bomb them...yet.

Iran is a strong country with a great and rich historical backgound. We may have some internal problems but it doesn't bad as it looks on TVs. Islamic law is not something that prevent your freedom but limit your freedom to protect others freedom.You may not like it but thats why our streets are more safer than any other country in western world. Freedom is not just about what women can wear. Iranian women are highly educated, working in lots of different proffesions. They can participate in any party, can elect and be elected.

IRAN - One of the great intellectual country in the middle-east. \nA peace loving country that dislikes war & very interested in intellectual advancement.\nWould only retaliate its enemies if provoked to the max.\n\nPS: I'm neither from IRAN nor a Muslim!

Khatami was a moderate and tried to get Iran to be more normal.  The current leader, President Ahmadinejad is an extremist that will lead his country into a lot of problems.  He has made comments that threatens to make the Middle East even more unstable than what it is right now.  Iran is moving forward with development of nuclear power.  Officially the want nuclear power to generate electricity, but they have a very large oil supply.  Hmmm... what do you think they want nuclear power for?

Oh yeah, Iraq is working out so well.  Iran, with a laregr populice that actually supports its government, would work out even better.\n\n(Incidentally, I think the idea of trying to convince Iran that it doesn't need nuclear weapons by threatening to drop nuclear weapons on it, as the Bush administration floated over the weekend, is brilliant psychology.)

I don't know much about it except what's in the media. I know they're on Israel and the USA's sh*t list right now. I have heard that the Iranians are very educated people and for being a country in the middle east, Iran is pretty well to do. When I was about 12 years old I had a pen pal from Iran who wrote in perfect English and sent me beautiful postcards from there. The mail was always ripped open before it got delivered to me though like someone was checking it. I have nothing against the Iranian people or their country. My experience with the ones I met have been very pleasant.
