Iran's ungrateful and hypocritical behavior in return for Azerbaijan's friendly neighborly policy is regrettable, but it also raises a number of important questions. What does such a hypocritical policy of the mullah regime give Iran?
Despite Iran's large energy reserves, which have chosen the format of conflict with its neighbors, the country is still among the low-middle income countries. According to a World Bank report, 40 percent of the population in Iran lives below the poverty line. Despite being an energy country, the fiscal deficit is more than 4 percent of GDP.
Iran, which ranks second in the world with 33 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves and third with 280 billion barrels of oil reserves, has a GDP per capita of only $4,250. Considering the fairly high level of poverty and inequality, it is not difficult to imagine how low the incomes of ordinary citizens in Iran are. Iran, which is in the top three in the world in terms of energy reserves, is 131st in terms of per capita national income. This comparison also shows how deplorable the socio-economic situation in Iran is.
The main demand of the protests in Iran in recent years was a transition from the hypocritical policies of the mullahs' regime to a development trajectory. For this, Tehran needs fundamental changes in behavior
