Iran’s Misrule vs. Turkey’s Influence:

Iran’s decline is driven by its theocratic regime, where incompetent leadership enforces oppressive laws. Women face jail for not wearing mandatory hijabs, a symbol of the regime’s rigid control. This, alongside economic mismanagement, has left Iran globally dismissed and isolated.

Turkey, by contrast, commands respect from the EU due to its secular framework. In Istanbul, women enjoy EU-like freedoms, dressing freely and living without religious mandates. This separation of church and state bolsters Turkey’s stability and influence, allowing leaders like Erdogan to wield significant power while maintaining international credibility.

Iran’s failure to modernize explains its irrelevance, while Turkey’s pragmatic governance elevates its global standing.
