In fact recent famines in Iran and Afghanistan were the result of overproduction of cash crops like Saffron
Do you have sources for this? I’ma be honest: when a country is laboring under brutal sanctions - sanctions designed to create famine conditions, to make ordinary citizens desperate enough to overthrow their government - claiming that the famines are really caused by that government making farmers grow the wrong crops… I’m willing to be proven wrong but that doesn’t pass the smell test to me.

Lol, dudes blaming Iran famine on other countries and not the dictatorship who chose to move out of the capital to avoid it affecting them personally.
