The lavish displays of wealth and skin are a side of Iran seldom shown, but the account is also drawing attention because it was created on the heels of a government crackdown on social media activities.

I'm not saying rich people don't deserve the wealth they have, or that choices haven't made some people poor, but shoving the excess wealth into peoples faces day in and day out is going to make some people snap. In this case, a lot of people snap.

Feel free to point to a narrative that indicate sanctions returned.
