Good for them, Saudi Arabia went through a similar process before. Though the more serious issue is the economy due to the sanctions. If the economy improves the society as a whole should become less conservative and reactive.

I think you misunderstood my comment or I’m misunderstanding yours.

Iran’s economy has suffered from sanctions and embargoes. But I don’t think you are arguing against this point. Are you perhaps arguing against the role of socioeconomic and material conditions in culture?

All I’m saying is that it will be easier for Iran to progress if it had a better economy. This statement is true and applies everywhere.
