If Rubio knew the history or architecture, he wouldn't have posed for a picture here. This monument was built out of love for the emperor's Iranian wife, crafted by the genius of Iranian architects; meanwhile, his government today threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization, insulting other civilizations.

During the recent war, Iranian Air Force pilots carried out a historic operation using aging F-5 fighter jets. Flying at extremely low altitude with exceptional skill, they reached a U.S. base in Kuwait and struck their targets successfully. In the chaos that followed, American air defenses reportedly mistook and engaged their own F-15 fighters — a striking example of the courage, tactics, and professionalism of Iranian pilots against overwhelming odds.

The Global Housing Crisis: A Decades-Long Struggle Worldwide Even if you could save 100% of your net monthly income, owning a 100m² apartment in major city centers takes a lifetime of work. From Europe to Asia and the Americas, skyrocketing real estate prices and stagnant wages have turned homeownership into a distant dream.

Global Energy Cost vs. Income Share (2026) A look at how much a 4-person household actually spends on energy (Gasoline, Electricity, Gas, Water) relative to their net income: holds the absolute lowest energy cost and share of income worldwide—even lower than deep-pocketed oil giants like Saudi Arabia. While a European family in Germany or the UK spends a whopping 9% to 16% of their multi-thousand-dollar paycheck just to keep the lights on and tanks full, Iran's ultra-low energy prices act as a vital cushion for a local net monthly income that averages just $150.

🌍 We compared per capita oil & gas income across Middle Eastern countries.

🛢 Saudi Arabia earns the highest total oil & gas revenue at around $200–220B, followed by the UAE ($120–130B) and Qatar ($90–110B). Iran earns about $35–50B.

📊 But the real difference appears when revenue is divided by population:

🇶🇦 Qatar ≈ $37,000 per person
🇦🇪 UAE ≈ $13,000
🇰🇼 Kuwait ≈ $10,500
🇴🇲 Oman ≈ $7,000
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ≈ $5,500
Iran ≈ $450

👥 The main reason is population size. Iran has ~93M people, while Qatar has only ~2.7M.
📈 Compared to Iran, per capita oil & gas income is:
• 🇶🇦 Qatar: 80× higher
• 🇦🇪 UAE: 30×
• 🇰🇼 Kuwait: 23×
• 🇴🇲 Oman: 15×
• 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: 12×

⚡️ So despite huge energy reserves, Iran’s larger population and lower export revenues leave a far smaller share per citizen.

🇮🇷 Iran ranks #1 globally in gasoline purchasing power

With extremely low fuel prices (~$0.008 per liter) and an average monthly income of ~$150, an Iranian can theoretically buy around 18,750 liters of gasoline per month.

For comparison:
🇺🇸 United States → ~4,020 liters
🇨🇭 Switzerland → ~3,150 liters
🇬🇧 United Kingdom → ~1,880 liters

📊 This highlights a unique case:
Iran combines one of the cheapest gasoline prices in the world with significant purchasing power in this specific metric.

⚠️ Important: This comparison reflects fuel affordability only—not overall cost of living or economic well-being.
