It can have afterburner as evident with Chinese JL-10.
In case Iran was able to acquire license to produce SM-100 then a lot of possibilities are opening up.
In war with China the U.S will use bases in South Korea and Japan while North Korea could as precaution pre-emptively strike as it is always a possibility for it being against them.
Also Iran could focus on Syria to expel illegal thieving Americans.
Were you were not thinking at all because it is obvious to which engine I refer, you could have done research because you don't have to be an expert on jet engines.
As I said, all one has to do is look at what aircraft Iran has and then look at jet engines of respective aircraft that they have...
They are not the same as very evident by pictures you use.
The one on the top looks like R-11/R-13/R-25 while on the bottom seems to be RD-33 or similar jet engine.
Very weird that you can not see the difference between two images.
It doesn't look like RD-33.
You should check what aircraft Iran has in possession and see respective engines for each model of jet they have.
To me it looks like Tumansky series of R-11/13/25 with R-25 being a notch below RD-33.
So likely just indicating capability to maintain and refurbish...
...and its more nonsense from you, they don't need to fly it far at other side of the world.
All they need is an aircraft that can be on air for dozens of hours to conduct ISR against actual and potential adversaries.
