المرشد الأعلى لأموال إيران!

From Saddam's Iraq's "oil-for-food" program to Iranian oil revenues in exchange for American corn and soybeans. In this episode of Here is the Gulf, we discuss a painful paradox: a country possessing oil, arable land, and natural resources, yet ending up under American control of its finances, forced to buy food from American farmers. Why do Iranians live in a rich country as if they live in a poor one? And why have Iran's wealth been diverted to militias and foreign adventures instead of being channeled into development and a decent life within Iran? An episode about the developmental stagnation of the Iranian regime and the difference between those who transform deserts into thriving economies and those who turn fertile land into poverty and emigration. #HereIsTheGulf
