- Yes because if we only focus on economy, the past year is an excellent indication of the massive potential of growth Iran's economy has and the extremely ready infrastructure like ready to use factories and production lines that used to work at a tiny portion of their capacity, top quality products in many fields including high tech that can easily eliminate their foreign counterparts and most importantly ultra cheap production cost which helps that elimination in the competitive global scene. This past year Iran has been heavily dedollarising by the way.
I will prefer you first analysis to this yes analysis for Iran. Iran might have had very good economic growth this past years but like you also confirmed, being a super power doesn't only cover economic growth and factories waiting to be used. Iran doesn't yet have international coverage or presence like US, Russia or even China. Russia and china can fit into the shoe more than Iran. The presence and awareness of BRICS is getting the new world order closer in the face of the leaders of BRICS.
