tehran is a vibrant city of over 10 million people, Im sure a few of them are not terrorists

And I never said the people were terrorists. I said the government was spending money on terrorists rather than the basic needs of the population. They have the money, they just don't want to spend it. I see no reason anyone should help them.
Resources have been literally drained to nothing, the population is too high to reduce demand, and the government is too corrupt to do anything. Iran is absolutely fucked.
