The real joke here is expecting the Iranian theocracy to be competent at anything, literally anything.
my under standing says the iranian theocracy is on par whatever rules the united states right now
Trump and MAGA are definitely mind numbingly incompetent, stupid, and corrupt, but I feel like they're a magnitude better than the mullahs. It sounds crazy to say, but it's true.
Iran is a BIG country with over 85 million people. It should be similar to Turkey or Germany in terms of political, cultural, and economic power but it's not. The reason? The regime decided to invest tens of billions of dollars since the 1980s to fund proxy groups across the middle east to destabilize the region, make enemies out of everyone, and enforce oppressive "morality" codes at home in accordance with islamic sharia law. This type shortsightedness is really hard to match.
wow i wonder how iran turned out to be such an awful country .... oops i dropped something, it's probably not important https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat?wprov=sfla1
Nobody is denying this coup negatively affected the country. That still doesn't absolve the current regime from criticism or responsibility.
