Iran is a fine example of Nietzsche's 'that which does not kill me makes me stronger'...... they've built th4eir industries and manufacturers, their science and engineering pretty much on their own.
I seriously dislike the system that governs these people. they thrive on the strength of Orwellian political psychology. but like many other countries, their population is not their govt. they're diverse, even polarised just like everyone else.
