A few years before Khomeini came to power, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi implemented the [White Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Revolution) to modernize Iran (including granting women the vote, land reform, etc.).
Khomeini opposed these reforms and considered them contrary to Islam.
Eventually, with support from some [communist parties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudeh_Party_of_Iran) and promises of free buses, electricity, and similar benefits to peoples (like what Zohran Mamdani did), the king was overthrown and Khomeini took control.
Interestingly, Khomeini subsequently suppressed and eliminated the communist parties, seized factories and homes of those who opposed the Islamic Republic, and labeled many opponents as terrorists and enemies of Islam.
To understand what Khomeini and the Islamic Republic enacted:
- Chess was banned for a period as being against Islam.
- Sexual relations with children were publicly condoned by Khomeini in his writings.

Iran is under US sanctions, which makes it impossible for developers to apply for remote jobs. It's even harder for boys, who are required to spend 2 years in conscription in the military without payment before they can leave the country.
Even after that, the government won't release the academic certificate and requires a high price of working at least 5 years to earn that money.
In short, if anyone is born in Iran, they should also die there.
Additionally, I should mention that the dollar exchange rate, which Google shows, is completely inaccurate and is even worse than that.
P.S. do not believe other claims either, as those who succeed in Iran usually come from wealthy families or have connections to the government, or they have both.
Sadly, this country is worse than North Korea (T-T).
More detail: most people were uneducated and mostly Muslim, so [Khomeini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhollah_Khomeini) used this to provoke people against [Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (king of Iran)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Reza_Pahlavi).
