Iranian system survives because most people prefer it. Though there is sizeable minority which has reservations. I have met dozens of such young people in many Muslim countries have an idealistic view of the world. Even after living for years in western countries it takes time to remove their rose tinted glasses. A trio of Iranian women claimed that India is a safe place for women and Indian women are honored by Indian society as opposed to Iranian society !! This on basis of a couple of weekend visits to Delhi. A couple of anti establishment young men claimed that India is a peaceful society without violence between political groups. After days of incredulous arguments a challenge to read the headline of any major Indian newspaper for a month cured them of the the Alice in Wonderland syndrome.
More interactions with the rest of the world will remove the blinkers from many of these people and make them appreciate their system. The fact is in today's world there is a jihad by the dominant western social system with no scope for any other system to prevail in any land. Different people's have values quite different to each other. Their social systems reflect their values. The unrelenting jihad by Western and West allied countries to impose their values on others results in strong security States in countries like Iran.
