Hit the nail right on the head.
People around Iran just hate you guys with a passion like no other. It's rather astounding, kind of sound familiar? Lol (shekelstein nation says hi).
IMF was shut down and Iranians and other who are genuinely interested in Iranian defense developments have been thrown to the wolves. One days it's Turks, another the Arabs, recently the Pakistani's (not all of them), Israeli will always have the hate ( not all of them aparantly), my fellow Americans vary (Oldman and gambit aren't all that bad, but Wordzmatter is a shitter), India usually seems to be supportive which makes Pakistani's furious.
Dude, don't even get me started on the Arabs man, just... ugh. They can't fight and all they have is a second tier American air force. That's it, every thing else just sucks. The only Arab nation that can fight is Egypt but they've been rendered a quasi surrogate state that doesn't even stand up for anything anymore. Saudi Arabia is a human violations hell hole that just can't fight for jack (and they know it, thats why they bring so many foreign generals and troops to do the work the lazy Sauooodi can't do themselves, not to mention my gov giving them weapons that they know the Saudus don't know how to use, and to Saudis here you can shove it, you're not my ally) list goes on and on. I'm tired of it lol.
I mean let's be honest here. Iran follows a different military doctrine compared to all of its neighbors. Iran focus on non-symmetrical warfare. This air craft carrier could be a helicopter carrier for all we know. Or maybe even a drone carrier, Iran has a sizable fleet of drones that could benefit from a floating platform that, let's say floats off of the Syrian coast and conducts missions against terrorists.
Amir, I'm about to get a lot of hate for this post but I just wanted to get some stuff off my chest. Iranian military forum was a much better place but this site has its good parts as well.
