Are you really going to compare the standards of living that people of the GCC enjoy with the standards of living that people of Iran enjoy? GCC, KSA included, is basically lightyears ahead of Iran on all economic fronts, living standards, HDI etc. despite Iran being flooded with oil and gas as well. In fact you are the poorest oil and gas rich country in the world alongside the likes of Venezuela.
And we are well aware of the fact that those regimes are corrupt but your is even more corrupt and your people, as I wrote already, are much poorer and worse off.

Next comedy show: Iranian volunteers actually fighting against ISIS instead of local Iraqis and Syrians (98% of the fighting force) and not actually being mercenaries for Al-Assad in areas where ISIS is nowhere to be seen.
Are you stupid or what? Seriously? You don't think that people of this region (Arabs) don't know the agenda of your Mullah's and what they want to achieve? You don't think that we are well aware of the few Shia militias in Iraq that take orders from Qom/Tehran and not Baghdad (that luckily don't take part in the battles against ISIS for a reason you know) and their role in Iraq? You have not done a single good thing for any Arabs or any Arab country in your history. When most Iraqi Shia Arabs in the South (heartland) complain about your puppets you know that you are doing something wrong.
What's worse we have absolute idiots among your Mullah's who say nonsense such as "Iran controls Baghdad", without "Iran" "ISIS would have invaded 10 million big Baghdad" etc.
Stop trying to take the credit of something that you have nothing to do with. Kurds (Barzanistan) does the same. Just stop it.
If those brainwashed mercenaries deserved to be honored or respected they should have gone to those countries to fight injustice and not fight one injustice/extremist but support the other who is very much similar.
And yes, I also prefer Al-Assad over ISIS with no doubt but none of those cancers should be alternatives as they are the reason for the destruction of Syria. Your stupid Mullah's don't understand that supporting Al-Assad (instead of supporting political reforms) is only playing in the hands of ISIS and similar groups and prolonging the conflict but of course your Mullah's only care about their influence and nothing else yet moronic supporters consider them holy cows. Never seen such hypocrisy anywhere else in the region.
Cries about Ba'athi Arab nationalist Saddam Hussein, hails/supports Ba'athi Alawite (Mullah's considered them a deviant sect and non-Shias until recently moreover, lol) Arab nationalist.
Cries about FSA, but supports Houthis, Northern Alliance, now Taliban, hosts wanted Al-Qaeda members, Hezbollah, Shia militias etc.
Talks about democracy in relation to GCC, lives in a similar autocracy that is worse of on most international rankings.
Cries about Israel all the time and accuses Arab countries, that actually fought against Israel, had volunteers dying there, financially supporting those wars (while Iran was an best buddy of Israeli in the region) yet has never attacked Israel even once.
Cries about Islamic fundamentalism while Mullah's rule Iran by strict Sharia law and execute more people than any other Muslim nation.
Cries about monarchies while most Iranians hail their historical MONARCHIC dynasties and while their entire rule is based on descend (only Hashemites or people who claim such descent can be the Supreme Ruler)
Made in Mullah-ruled Iran.
Do you want more examples of your disgusting hypocrisy despite CONSTANTLY trying to act like saints unlike other actors in the region or are you done embarrassing yourself?
Let's not forget that most of their oil/gas derives from areas of Iran inhabited by Iranian Arabs that despite the rich area they live in, are neglected by the same Mullah's that claim Arab descent. And those Arabs are mostly Shia so they cannot talk about "Wahhabis"/"Nasibis" (their codewords for Sunnis or more orthodox Sunnis) or use sect as an excuse for their bad treatment. Yet they cry about Shias in KSA who are among the best off people in all of KSA except for 1 city (Al-Awamiyah) that has a long history of being a troublespot/crime spot. Each country has such areas but ANYONE visiting Khobar or Damman for instance and then afterwards taking a ship across the pond to visit Ahwaz, Bandar Abbas etc. can quickly see the contrasts despite similar natural riches.
When the Shah was around we had nowhere near as many problems with your likes but actually cordial relations with leads me to believe that your Mullah's are the main problem! Most of the world (given your political isolation, sanctions etc.) think the same so we are not alone and when North Korea is one of your biggest allies one knows that something is terribly wrong!
Sad if Pakistanis reading this in Pakistan or elsewhere will fall for the lies of his likes.
