1. Maternity ward?

Looks more like an intensive care unit for prematurely born infants. If those are normal Iranian newborns, then Iran has worse problems than it is saying. There's a surprise! Actually -- it isn't at all surprising.
2. Iran Prospects

Iran is doomed. When the current large generation retires, there will be a much smaller cohort of workers born after them who can support them. Bankruptcy and poverty and guarantied. This cannot be changed. The children were not born. When you add into the mix the fact that oil prices are declining, Iran's oil is running out and that Iran has the highest rate of drug addiction in the world, you understand why Iran is so desperate to get control of the resources of Iraq and Syria. Without them they are doomed. Sanctions should not be lifted, they should be intensified and the collapse of the mini-Persian empire is assured.
