This is Iran, a highly controversial nation that has of course made headlines in recent months for hostilities back and forth between the united states. Hostility towards the united states is really nothing new in and of itself but these particular hostilities have gained so much attention in part because Iran is a very very powerful military nation in its own right. Now a lot of that power comes down to its economy which gives it the ability to be a force that people actually fear to engage with.

Even outside of hostilities and fear-mongering the economy of Iran is a really interesting case study because it is one of the largest modern economies that draws policy not only from economic and political theory but also directly from the teachings of Islam, which gives it some really interesting characteristics.

As an Iranian who have some experience in the refinery industry of Iran in the past and also currently works for a brokerage firm in Tehran I think I can help you to correct some parts of this video:
First of all gas in Iran has two Price. The highly Subsidized Which is about 10-12 cent and is rationed and the slightly less highly subsidized which is about 20-25 cent and is not rationed. (Although the price is fixed in the local currency I used approximation due to massive fluctuation in the exchange rate.)
Secondly Iran has a big refinery Industry which is one the biggest sectors in the Tehran's Stock Market. As a result of that not only Iran is not importing its fuel but in fact it even export some fuel.(Iran used to import some gas but after opening of its latest refinery in 2019 it produces gas way more than what it need right now.
Nevertheless the whole idea of this video that Iran's economy is very strange one is 100% true.
