Educated Iranians are leaving the country in droves.

This is good and bad. The good is the regime is losing talent, the bad is the educated people are the ones most likely to get rid of that regime. Those hot Persian women can all come to America and Europe can get the males! LOL!

Iran’s Brain Drain Problem

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Iran has the world’s highest rate of brain drain. Every year, more than 150,000 highly educated Iranians leave their country. The majority emigrate to the U.S., Europe, Canada, and Australia. The damage caused by this phenomenon is estimated to be $40 billion a year.

The rates of Iran’s brain drain are reaching such astronomical figures that the Iranian press is beginning to suspect that a conspiracy is involved, schemed and carried out by the West with the help of Iran’s neighbors. This was indicated recently in an article published by Tabnak, which is Iran’s most popular online news agency. Its owner, Mohsen Rezai, has close connections to government officials such as Ayatollah Rafsanjani, and senior officers within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The Iranian regime isn’t well liked by its youth. However due to the support they receive from the Western left and the Media any counter regime movement will get no traction. Another example of the Leftist-Islamic allaince.
