The GDP figures for Iran and Pakistan
Iran

Gdp has doubled in last twenty years
Pakistan

GDP has gone up four times (& no oil here) !!!!!!
So what growth are you talking about ........ of the $ 270 B ........... almost $70B comes from oil and in 1987 this figure was only $ 10 B !!!!!!
As for your choice of use for a lamp post .... welcome to the "free" world ... you do whatever works for you
Could you provide source to your figures?
GDP under PPP has grown 4 times for both countries.
I have provided you with enough evidence to prove that Iranian economy has not declined over the last 30 years but you are insisting otherwise. I wonder if you wear a burqa as well.
