Despite decades of sanctions, Iran has the world's busiest liver transplant center.
Shiraz Organ Transplant Center:
— 600+ liver transplants/year
— 638 in 2018. Broke Pittsburgh's world record (561)
— Helped build liver transplant centers in Pakistan, Tajikistan, Lebanon, and Sudan
The liver transplant cost?
Totally free for Iranian nationals. 100% of the surgery and in-hospital medication costs are state-covered.
Even for foreigners, just $20,000–$50,000.
Compare to the US: up to $1M uninsured.

What if we told you the most surreal place in Iran is an underground lake?
Ali-Sadr Cave in Hamedan is the world's largest navigable water cave (and one of the most beautiful).

— You don't walk it. You sail it.
— 11.44 km mapped. 2.4 km open to visitors.
— Lakes up to 14m deep. Main chamber ceiling 40m high.
— Constant 12°C water, year-round.
— Zero animal life, except one blind crustacean (Niphargus alisadri) found nowhere else on Earth.
— Nature spent 190 million years decorating it: needle-shaped stalactites, cauliflower formations, and crystals in various colors.

Every baby born in Iran is screened for 56 metabolic disorders — for free.
The tech behind it? Nuclear. Built by Iranian scientists. Iran is one of only 5 countries in the world producing these kits.
This is just one example of our peaceful nuclear technology.

Did you know Tehran's Tabiat Bridge was built without closing the highway below for a single day?

270 meters of curved steel over the Modarres Highway, with three separate levels — cafés, walkway, and viewing deck.
Designed by Leila Araghian, a 26-year-old Iranian architect whose design won multiple international awards. Built by Khatam al-Anbiya Construction HQ of the IRGC.
The world tries to isolate Iran with sanctions but masterpieces are born instead.
Add it to your Tehran list.

From Iran to Ghana, workers build nations. Nations should remember that; not just on May 1st.
