In Marjane Satrapi's "The Complete Persepolis," the narrative touches upon the juxtaposition of geopolitical actions and humanitarian consequences. It highlights the troubling reality that Germany, while providing medical assistance, is involved in selling chemical weapons to Iran and Iraq. This ethical contradiction raises questions about the complicity of nations in the suffering of innocents during conflicts.

The book vividly portrays the experiences of war victims who, despite being harmed by these weapons, are later sent to Germany for treatment. This situation paints a grim picture of how people are caught in a cycle of violence and medical exploitation, transforming them into unwitting "human guinea pigs" in a geopolitical game that disregards their dignity and humanity.
