Do you think Russia and China want Iran to come out of the "sancions-isolation"? I think probably China does (as energy importer and being a confident economical power seeing Iran as export market), but Russia can't be trusted because they have some interests which differs or even collides with Iranian interests. Russia also hoped trump to win. That's why I'm not that sure if they will even want to sell fighter jets to Iran. And we need it urgently ASAP else we can't retaliate against the enemy or defend ourself fully without a strong airforce. The airdefence gap which we had is indeed alsmost closed, however our airforce is very very weak and we can't be a firm power without a strong airforce.Considering all the economic losses that Iran has incurred over its nuclear program, Iran should have just gone ahead and built nuclear weapons.
However keep in mind that 10-20 years ago, Iran's air defenses and missile program were not nearly as formidable as they are today. Therefore pursuing a nuclear bomb could have very well caused the US or Zionists to launch an attack on Iran's entire nuclear program.
In any case, it seems likely that the Biden administration with rejoin the nuclear deal. I'm not sure what the exact terms will be, however I doubt that the US or Europeans will give Iran any kind of compensation, as some Iranian officials are demanding.
However Iran should firmly demand that the Americans and Europeans first comply with all of their obligations under the nuclear deal before Iran even lifts a finger. Last time, in good faith, Iran fully abided with all the terms of the nuclear deal, while the US never fully lived up to its end of the bargain.
Anyways, Iran needs new passenger planes and considering how desperate companies like Boeing / Airbus are right now, I would say that the timing is perfect for Iran to purchase a large number of passenger planes at a deep discount. Iran's
airforce is also in desperate need of modern fighter jets and an influx of modern military technology from countries like Russia and China.
IMO Iran should not hesitate to buy a large number of SU-30 / SU-35 / MIG-35 / SU-57 fighter jets with technology transfers. As for helicopters, tanks, ships, drones, armored vehicles, etc, Iran should cooperate with Russia / China to purchase some vital components and jointly research and develop various weapons systems.
However any new deal should ensure that Iran has access to medical isotopes in the future and the ability to expand it's civilian nuclear program to the point where 10-20% of Iran's power grid with nuclear energy. Currently only 2-3% of the power grid is being powered with nuclear energy. With help from Russia / China, Iran should also build new nuclear power plants
As for companies like Peugeot or Renault, they will have to pay a steep penalty in order to be allowed back into the Iranian market. Furthermore any company that wants to invest in Iran should put down a decent security deposit so that if they suddenly decide to leave, Iran keeps the deposit. Something to that extent.
In other news, it seems that thanks to Iran, Venezuela's oil industry is up and running. They are now able to sell oil to China yet again. I'm sure Maduro will be forever thankful to Iran.
Exclusive: Venezuela resumes direct oil shipments to China despite U.S. sanctions
Venezuela has resumed direct shipments of oil to China after U.S. sanctions sent the trade underground for more than a year, according to Refinitiv Eikon vessel-tracking data and internal documents from state company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).www.reuters.com
Iranian and Chinese interests are more connected. I even must say Iran should look as much as possible towards Chine for anything it wants to buy or import, even passenger planes. White westerners and jews will possibly put bombs inside planes if they sell it to Iran. Then they will check who steps inside the plane and they will let it explode above ocean if there is any important scientists among the passengers.
