See, Iran?

All you had to do was westernize your economy, hand your infrastructure to global capital, and open your markets

Do that, and just like Syria, you'll become "partners"

Aren't all these panels coming from China anyway? Iran could do this and keep its iron grip, no?

I don't think that's a reasonable description of Syria, which is more of a failed state.

But yes, generally westernizing works out better for all concerned.

Western solar panels come with subscription and remote kill switch.

Iran is trying to build grid on atomic powerplants, because solar is frankly not enough nor reliable!
