#1  Iran also has one of the (if not the) biggest drug addiction problems in the world.

Iran's corruption problem is a force multiplier in all its other problems. The IRNG and various rulling mullahs have been able to amass a lot of the ownership of various businesses.

Iran's foreign adventurism costs a huge amount and results in lots of deaths of Iranians (as well as various militia) also.
