*Did you find the background music too loud in this video?* I always struggle balancing it out and, while it's usually pretty low volume, I feel like this one was a little too high?
just depends on the type of music usually - because this video is mostly strings and wind instruments traditional to the region (rather than abrasive drums that would mask your voice) I'd say the music is at the right volume!
I thought the music in this video was a great volume. The previous person already made the comment, it's in part due to the type of music and didn't have any booming drums or anything that would otherwise drown out the information that you're laying down. If you and a lot others disagree, I mean by all means do what feels right but I personally had to say that it was bang on for me. I often use subtitles in videos because music does make hearing voices difficult but I didn't require that at all. You're very clear in your speaking to begin with, which helps.
I didn't find the background music too high, the only thing technical wise was the thumbnail makes it unclear who's Sunni and who's Shia. It gives the idea that Saudi Arabia is Shia and Iran is Sunni.
Yea, it could be turned down a notch 👍🏼
I did not even notice
Sending love from Saudi Arabia to Iranian people 💚❤️

As an Iranian, it has less to do with Islam and everything to do with regional influence and power. Islam is just the excuse, especially for Iran.
A lot of that going on, actually. Bosnia and Ireland come to mind. They'd like us to believe it's about religion but it's just about power.

Hi I would just like to add some points and correct a few points that you made,
iran's Road network map that you showed is very old, there are several freeways built that aren't on it.
Furthermore when comparing the train network all major Iranian cities have underground metro systems which you didn't mention (Tehran, Mashhad, Esfahan, Shiraz, Ahvaz and Tabriz)
Fascinating topic, thanks for touching on this fascinating but undercovered rivalry
Thanks for watching!
💯
More of these videos bro, loved the comparison!!!!
Your videos are so good, thank you so much
Thanks!
"green is the color of allah, i think" bro where that come from 💀
In Iran's case, it does not represent any religion, just Green as being Green in nature.
Thanks for the video 👍
Fun fact: They hate each other
Thanks Mr Obvious
Not as much as before though
No we don’t
Fun fact: If they team up they'd be super powerful!
Not anymore. They mended ties.
good video , I was actually born in north Iran , and I live in Iraq now and Iraq lives as the center of conflict between these two countries now, this video helped to get a perspective on each place
What part of Iraq? How is the quality of life there now? I’m planning to visit very soon. I think it’s one of the most fascinating countries in the world.
That’s rare, born in Iran moving to Iraq. But right now Iraq is safe so I would understand
@@modder853 iraq isn’t safe, a week ago a Kuwaiti tourist and his Saudi cousin got killed in Iraq by the terrorist militias there,the gov has no control over the country. It’s basically a free zone for militias
Kurdish?
@@archstanton6102 what race has to do with this!!
9:51 the map you showed of the Iranian Railway network is outdated by more than a decade! The current railway system has connected the west, north, south & south-east of the country to the network.
This is factual.
his videos are very low effort tbh
The design of the Iranian railway is by design. It is designed so an invading army from the north or east/west it would not benefit from it very much. Especially since the allies invaded Iran in WWII because of its rail system. It is said, the deign of the Iranian rail system is once of man's greatest engineering examples as it involves thousands of bridges and tunnels due to its geography. I do not know about the present stats, but in 1930s it had over 4000 bridges and tunnels, many carved through granite and its wonder bridge (Veresk bridge) that uses no metals and it is a brick and cement bridge and still in use almost 90 years later.
8:30 why would saying Ackamenide empire is Iranian a stretch? They litteraly originated in Iran, they spoke Persian and there culture and Holliday is still alive in iran. They called there country eran by the locals evolving to Iran. The Sassanian the decendents of the Ackamenide named the country Iran shar,
Yeah that makes no sense. The Sassanids literally called their empire Iran as well. Only western nations called it Persia.
Saying achemenid for Iran is a stretch, as much as saying the Ummayads for Saudi Arabia is a stretch
@@Omer1996E.C but did the Umayads call themselves Soudi Arabia? No but ackamenid did call itself Iran.
@@Disco13895 achemenid called themselves iran, ummayads called themselves Arab, "achemenid" describes the ruling class, and "Saudi" is the name of the dynasty (the ruling class), and every dynasty change comes with its own dynastic nomination change. Like how iran named itself "Safavid" or "Qajar" or even "Sassan", Arabs also called themselves "ummayad", "abbasid", or any other name.
Got it?
@@Omer1996E.C they called themselves arabs so did many yet not every arab can claim umayad but every persian can claim ackamenid. Umayad did not call there empire arab empire they called it umayad caliphate when ackamenid was called persian empire or iran. Got it?
Great video!!! You should compare denmark and norway or sweden.
Great idea! I'll add a Nordic comparison to my list.
You should do a video on Bir Tawil, the piece of land no country claims.
You should do one on Hong Kong and Macau. Great Video by the way.
Great video. And the music is not loud☺️
Iran and Saudi Araba are kind of like the Ottomans and the Safavids, they have a very similar relationship in my opinion! History doesn’t repeat itself but it does often rhyme the famous saying goes.
First official language of Ottoman Empire was Farsi👍
Saudi Arabia is NOTHING like the Ottoman empire.
It was a stupid comparison. Safavid and Ottoman differences have nothing to do with Iran and Saudi Arabia. Today's conflicts are political. But the Safavids and Ottomans were religious.

It’s just like the Cold War but in the Middle East which is Iran-Saudi Arabia rivalry known as Middle East Cold War because the series of proxy wars, similar as US-Soviet Cold War in a wars in Korea, Vietnam and others like:
1.Syria Civil War
2.Ongoing Conflict in Iraq
3.Yemeni Civil War
It's literally just a continuation of the cold war... Same divisions.
Iran won literally every conflict.
Lebanon-Iranian Victory
Syria-Iranian Victory
Iraq-Iranian Victory
Yemen- is still going on but Iran doesn't even do much while Saudi Arabia get completely humiliated by the Houthi-rebels.
😮 a subject I have always thought about
All Saudis are Arabic or Afro-Arabic. Meanwhile all Persians are Iranian, but not all Iranians are Persian.
Afro Arabic?
The hell is that!!?
@@napolien1310 Afro Arabs are a mix of African tribes and Arab tribes that have intermarried for several centuries creating a group of people called Arabs. Most of them are usually more African in appearance. Saudi Arabia population is 10 to 15 percent Afro Arabs.
@@napolien1310Arabs and Africans have been trading with each other since the Aksumite days. The Arab slave trade brought many Africans to Arabia. The descendants of those slaves largely make up the Afro-Arab population of the KSA. The Afro-Arab population in total is estimated to be around 10% of the KSA’s population.
All persians aren't Iranian the language is highly spoken by nations of
Afghanistan , Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
There's many ethnicities in Iran such as kurdish, Turkish,blosh and Arab, and so as my country (saudi arabia) Turkish, African, and central Asian.
Thank you for another great video. There are a few things I’ve learned, one of them are mountains in the south of Saudi Arabia. I don’t know why, but I always had impression Saudi Arabia is a flat country.
I watched your video comparing my home country (Poland) with Germany. If possible, I’d like to see comparison of France and Germany or France vs Britain. Algeria vs Morocco could also be interesting, same for China vs India. I’m not sure if there’s a point in comparing Argentina and Brazil, but you may consider it when working on future videos.
Hejaz Saudi is very mountains.
All good suggestions! :) Thanks
You saw Iran!
Iran can still sometimes compete in volleyball with Poland but you are much better side but at football Iran have more chance to beat Poland !
@@General.KnowledgeI agree that these are good suggestions and I did see in another post that someone said the comparison of the United States of America and Canada would be an interesting one from your storytelling perspective.
Australia and New Zealand might be interesting to people. There are a lot of cultural similarities between the two, but there is also a whole lot of differences, and then when you get to the geographic differences, oh boy howdy.
I don't know, now I just want a lot of comparison videos from your perspective. Portugal and Spain, or Portugal and Brazil (for colonial then and now), Spain and Mexico for a similar reason. That's another thing, could do some general comparisons of where the colonial power is today along with a, some, or all of their once colonial possessions (which would depend on quantity as to whether or not one or all could be addressed in a single video).
I like comparison videos in general, I watch other people make those comparisons, but I always look forward to anything you put out. So I trust your judgement and I'm sure it'll be good stuff either way.
I also just thought that comparing Greece to Turkey seems quite interesting, again lots of history, changing hands, unification, division, so much. Also purely as a random note, being a map nerd, when Greece and Turkey are coloured in as if they were a single country, it's absolutely satisfying to look at. I know that Greece and Turkey are nowhere near that point, but in terms of beautiful nerdy map borders, yeah I like it. It's a good shape lol. But it is a powerful location especially when united.
Next should be either
- Romania vs Hungary
- Finland vs Sweden
- Australia vs New Zealand
- Spain vs Portugal
- Argentina vs Brazil
- Colombia vs Venezuela
Hey!!!
Loved the video.
You could do one about Brazil and Argentina.
I think it would be interesting.
This is Brilliant 🥰
Do Pakistan and India in this Wonderful Format!!
Honestly not many interesting comparisons can be done between both countries. Probably religion and basic stuff like flag and all.
saudi spends 10x more on military but iran still produce its own weapons and clears the saudi military
Green is not color of Allah, it's color of Islam and signifies peace.
Lol peace. Wish they'd try it

Saudi defense spending....
Actually, a large portion of it goes to salaries. Saudis military personnel are among the highest paid in the world....
I believe Sandboxx News brought that one up a few years back....
0:56 correction, its God with a big G not god with small g. God refers to 'The God', the one and only, the sole creator of the worlds. basically 'god' is a noun describing a supreme being or deity while 'God' is a proper noun - it being the name of the Abrahamic god, the one and only God.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed that.
For those who do not believe in God/god or do not even know if there is a God/god, it does not make any difference how you write it!

Fun Fact: The significance of the colour green in Islam has one of its roots in the Quran (18:65-85), wherein it discusses al-Khidr (the Green), a mysterious servant of God who was bestowed with divine knowledge and wisdom.
Islamic epistemology shares that green is a colour signifying one who receives beatification from God. This is why you often find the minarets of many mosques, including the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, are green; it's to allow the congregants of mosques to receive God's grace and blessings.
Interesting fact: nobody in Iran uses rial anymore we use toman(1toman is 10 rial)
Iran has history, architecture, art, culture and very fascinate nature and people.
We still win nontheless :P

Green line In Iranian Flag Is Symbol Of Cypress Tree 🌲!!!
The tree is evergreen, which is a symbol of immortality and pride in Iranian culture!!! Also, cypress is the national tree of Iran, and the oldest living tree in the world is a 4800 year old cypress in Iran !!
Unfortunately, the government of Iran is Islamist and wants to convert everything to Islam!!! White symbolizes Damavand Peak and red symbolizes Wild tulips !!!
Thank you for the clarification.
I always thought it was from the fatamids
You’re a radicalised Iranian. Down with the terror state!
@@shafsteryellowthe fatimids were never in Iran and the fatimids were ismailis while Iran is a 12er-shiite country.
Actually, the oldest tree in the world is not in iran. Sorry.
In Saudi Arabia, there appears to be much more men than women between the ages of 25-69 years old, according to the chart at 10:37. It would have been interesting if you commented on why that would be the case.
It’s because of migrant worker population. Migrants makes up about 40% of the population in Saudi Arabia. Similar thing in Dubai, with being 90% migrant workers.
The same migrant workers that the most basic human rights in these GCC countries that tantamount a to modern day slavery.
@@MrSpiderlions Ahh. Very interesting. Thank you.

pretty well done. but should mention a correction.
It is not the Iranian national emblem on the flag. It belongs to the Islamic republic. Lion and Sun is the historical national emblem since the Safavid Empire.
The Lion and Sun is also an Islamic symbol which was popularized during the Safavid era. If you want a purely Iranian symbol then the Derafsh Kaviani is older and isn't islamic.
@@yarsaz4347 the lion and sun is originated from pre Islamic era and some even relate it to Anahita.

I'm embarrassed to admit, I don't recall ever hearing the term Gini co-efficient" (though I am well aware of income inequality). Big THANKS for always helping me learn something new 😁
Gini is great for internal fairness of a country's economy. But it's no measure for well the economy is doing overall.
Why Iran hate us sm like omg can we live in peace it’s been 1300 years. Yall will never rule Saudi Arabia not even Mecca and Medina just accept it and live along. I didn’t know that even Iranis hate us not only the government until I saw how bad you treat us in Medina even though you are in our land where is your manners ?
Iranians insulted your land??? I did not understand you?
1:04 Green is not the colour of Allāh Ta’alaa (God) but rather it’s a colour that has represented numerous Islamic empires and groups including some times during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ and Sahaba رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ.
Other colours also include white and black though green is the most prominent.
Iranian people are one of the best people in the world and they are simple and kind people. Unfortunately, the governments, who happen to be non-Iranians, have turned the face of Iran into a war-torn and depressed country in these decades.

They don't compare. South Koren is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Because North Korea has a Communist Dictator, most are still living in a peasant state.
I would Like to correct a mistake in the video because its serious one, at 1:03 this statement is incorrect because as Muslim we belive that nobody has seen Allah and we can not see him. Instead Green color is said to be colour to represent Muslims, as in Pakistani flag white part shows non-muslim minority live in peace and larger green part shows Muslim majority.
So I am not being offensive but this statement is wrong and it might hurt Muslim viewers.
Appreciate your hard work your videos are awesome. I really love your videos.
While thanking you for informing about the statistics of these two countries, I must say that, as you mentioned in the video, the freedom index in these two countries is very low; Since I live in Iran and I have lived in different cities with different ratios of people's belief in religions, although it is very difficult to collect statistics in the conditions of a religious authoritarian government, I think a large percentage of Iranian people do not believe in any religion. Maybe it is the same in Saudi Arabia. Sending love to Saudi Arabian people from Iran ❤❤❤

How about Haiti and Dominican Republic? They share the same island, yet can't be more different in every possible aspect. Haiti is poor, corrupt, prone to destructive earthquakes, has awful infrastructure, poor health care, gangs basically run the country and have so many other problems. Dominican Republic is the opposite of all that, including structural damage from earthquakes because their infrastructure is built so much better that Haiti's.
The Dominican Republic is not ''the opposite'' of Haiti, it is just slightly better, but compared to many other Latin American countries the DR is really bad.
I've seen some of those videos on youtube talking about how the DR is a ''paradise'' next to Haiti... I don't buy it, unless you tell me that ''to shit garbage is paradise''.

Thank you for pointing out that GDP per capita is a useless measurement
I find that to be quite a dumb thing to say, considering the variety of countries we have. Even in this case, how is it pointless to compare gdp per capita when one country's population is 3 times bigger? Comparing just the gdp you'd be under the impression they're not that far apart, except for the fact that the country with 3 times as many people has a gdp 30% smaller. What a silly thing to say.
@@beni4366 GDP per capita is a useless metric when talking about the quality of life of the people in a country. Which is what he was doing. Any economist worth his weight wouldn’t use GDP per capita as a QOL metric
@SincerelyFromStephen first of all, that statement came after comparing gdp, which doesn't take into account the size of the population. Gdp per capita is analyzing the same thing from a different perspective. If one's relevant, I don't see why the other isn't. Second, no one mentioned that it is useless as a metric for quality of life. It certainly isn't the final metric but to say it's useless is way over the top. I'm pretty sure if one were to be forced to change country and would have to move at random or make a choice based on a gdp per capita list, he would would find some use in this "useless" metric.
@@beni4366 if you made moves based on GDP per capita, you’d likely end up in Ireland where you end up finding out that most people are very middle of the road in terms of their wealth and that the average Irishman earns no more than most middle income EU countries. Their GDP per capita is grossly inflated due to it being a tax haven for wealthy corporations and makes it look like Dublin is one of the wealthiest cities on earth. When he replaced GDP per capita with the Gini coefficient he was very obviously talking about how wealth is distributed, which directly impacts the quality of life in a country. GDP per capita doesn’t take into account a myriad of factors that can impact the QOL
@@beni4366 he even said in the video that GDP per capita is a pointless statistic

I don't think you are right about the minimum wage in Iran. It's 70 million Rials which equals less than 130 USD.
Gdp per capita is meaningless? What a dumb thing to say!
12:33
Iran's minimum wage is 120 USD per month!
it is now the west saying arab and iran doesnt get along well NOW but we love them and i hope they us
Thanks for your video, although there are two thing mentioned that are not right,
1- real minimum wage in Iran is 150 USD,
2- Shia Islam in Iran is not 95 percent, it's 30% actually, more that 60% of Iranians are not Muslims(millions are now can be called ex-Muslims, but fearing of prosecution, they lie to you about their religion, trust me, this is true specially in young populations, which religion part is pretty much erased and non existence).
There is another thing, Iran is pretty much isolated and with human rights issued and legitimacy of its system, the real military personnel is very much lower than what you said, that's why Iran always use proxies and not its people, because they won't fight for the system if a war happens, that's the main reason why Iran never tries to cause any war with anybody whatsoever. They always talk smack and don't do anything but talk.
Until recently, i didn't even know that shias and sunis are different!
