Have you read about declining birth rates in Iran? Russia as well? How does this impact their political goal?

Back in the eighties Bob Woodward wrote book called Vail Secret War of CIA. He tells how CIA told Regan USSR was in bad shape because of demographic problem similar to what USA faces. That and a progressive leader lead to brake up of USSR. Iran on the other hand has the most young per population in the world. And you know what young people generally have. Don't know there culture enough to predict when.
