Realistic and interesting description of Iran from the language of a non-Iranian

Fahui Hossein, an Egyptian journalist who has an Arab nationalist tendency and also has an anti-Iranian approach, writes in a detailed article comparing Egypt and Iran:

• We and the Iranians were on the same level in the international space more than 30 years ago. Iranians chose the path of struggle and resistance against the superpowers, especially America, and we chose the path of compromise.
• Every year, we used to get 4 billion dollars in free aid from the United States for our betrayal of the Arabs, and Iranians experienced political, economic pressure, embargo, civil war, and unequal war from the very beginning.
• Today, Iran has turned from a regional power into a global power, and no problem in the region or the world can be solved without Iran’s opinion.
• And the US presidential candidates use the term Iran 64 times each in their televised debate. It is as if they have no other opponent except Iran in the world.
• And another thing is that Iranians are among the top ten countries in the world in all strategic sciences, from nuclear to space, to nano, simulation, medicine, etc., and in missile industry, they are the fourth power in the world, and in terms of the accuracy and speed of their missiles, they are perhaps the first country in the world.
• And in the island region, it is safe and stable, and despite the support of America and receiving annual aid, we are concerned about preparing a meal of bread for most of our people and…

• But when in a Shia country, the leader does not give ransom to the land and time, with all the pressures, tastes, extremes, extremes, 8 years of war, 30 years of political and economic embargo, there is no room left for the enemy to breathe.
• Well, then it will be Iran, in the middle of a fence of the fire of regional wars, where wounded wolves howl restlessly behind their borders… (and) no one dares to look left at their land; Even their flies (drones).
