Answer 13

You guys are having your moment in the sun, that's all.

But the real kicker is this.

Right now you're all getting rich off of the oil you have, but we didn't even tap our reserve.

After a little while when you guys grow beyond your means, will be ready to tap our oil again, then your cities will be over populated with no financial backing, I mean really, what do you have other than oil?

If the price drops for us, you'll all starve.

But hey don't worry about it, you're the chosen people right? lmao.

Answer 14

It didn't.  The Iranian government controls their media and just makes it seem like Iran is the most powerful government in the world....much like North Korea.

Answer 15

Iran is not the most powerful country in the world at this time. In the past, way past, it had great strategic powers in their area, but they have never been a world power in the medern world.

What is your basis for assuming this and what time period are you speaking of?

Answer 16

Cyrus the Great  

Though I don't know that the Persian Empire could really take the title of most powerful country in the world.  At the time they probably were the most powerful, but lacking modern transportation it was difficult to have wars with other countries that would sort out who is the most powerful.

Today's Iran is a middleweight power, though getting those nukes built will definitely catapult them into the big league.  

As for the world's most powerful, I think of all the countries in the world I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, the United States would be the one I would least want to meet.
