Guys ... Guys ... Guys (Iranian guys)
Have not we seen western powers pushing our regional goons against us before ? Saddam attacked us with support of literally the whole major world against us. We had no proper military to defend Iran when he was trying to bomb our children, he was getting brand new 4th generation jets in 80s and BM/CM's, CW plants and we had to literally smuggle unguided rockets and spare parts for our 2nd generation AF Jets. We turned the war on him ... our children ran over his mines to clear way for our attack columns, we destroyed his AF, our sons smashed their planes in his castle, we are men who will drink bloods of our enemies if provoked ... and saddam... today we run his country ... and Syria ... and Lebanon ... we have proxies wedging wars against our enemies in Yemen. We have a northern alliance Ittehad proxy govt. sitting in Afghanistan. The same Kremlin that supported Saddam now provides air cover to our proxies. We are literally seeing rise of a shiite powerhouse in this region. Thats how times change and thats how international politics can turnout to be. We are the balance that whole progressive world always have needed in this region of chaos, thats why these alliances and promises do not matter a bit to us.
I dont like our mashadi mullahs but they have done what not even Shah Abbas Saffavid or Nader Afshar could do for us. Literally our golden age is returning and signs are there. Mullah politics will die a slow and insignificant death in future, but they will deliver a mighty and powerful Iran to next generation.
as for the topic, to keep the balance, US will probably turn a blind eye towards more Iranian BM/CM tests in future or any possible 4+ 4.5 gen AF procurement from Russia/China. I see Solid fueled Sejjil based IRMB with Emad like MaRV or a moderate ranged ICBM based upon one of our tested SLV's being launched in future. Somar CM, Emad MaRV will be crucial for us in future. Maybe 5-6 squadrons of Su-30M, S-400 from Russia will go on smoothly as well in coming years. They will be enough along with 4 squadrons of F-14 AM (phoenix/Fakour armed) and 2 squadrons of (if upgraded in future) Mig-29 to guard our cities. We can pack a serious neck breaking punch to our enemies ... this aint 80s when my children had to pick up guns for our vatan.
