Iran Was Meant to Be a Superpower. What Went Wrong?

Video Description

Ever wondered why Iran has oil, gas, and millions of young, educated people but still can’t grow its economy? Why is Iran still struggling in 2025, even though it looks rich on paper? In this video, we break down the Iran economy, sanctions, inflation crisis, and why the country never reached its full potential. We explain why the Iranian rial keeps collapsing, how powerful groups like the bonyads control huge parts of the economy, and why foreign companies avoid investing in Iran. You’ll learn how US sanctions, black market trading, fuel subsidies, and brain drain pushed the country into economic trouble, while its resources remain underused. Using simple language, humor, and real-life examples, this video explains the Iran economic crisis in a way that’s easy to understand, whether you live in Iran, follow Middle East news, or just want to know what went wrong.
