I think Fateh's are actually in service, but yes Iran seems to not understand what standardization means. To many different rifles causes to many issues in logistics, servicing, production. They just don't understand it. I honestly don't get it.

In this specific case I don't think any of the rifles are in service. They are part of a competition to replace the Army's standard service rifle.

These guys appear like active service members. It's not widely proliferated, but it appears some units are using it. I just hope they have good trigger discipline because of the small magazines.

All look like M-16/Norinco CQ copies to me.

Or AR-15s that the original poster of the pictures mistook for Fateh they don't look like Fateh at all to me.

Fateh is a copy of Norinco CQ wich is based on the M-16. Those are definitly the Newer version of the Fateh rifle with the Carrining handle replaced with a rail. Pay attention to the "Revolver" style Pistol grips.

The reason why tourism has gone down the hole is because of a decade of western propaganda against Iran. What I think Iran needs to do is stop focusing on attracting western and that is also including European people to Iran so hard because their media will always be negative towards Iran. Rather Iran should focus on Asia and countries that are friendly with Iran like China whose media is also quite friendly with with Iran. The best course of action I believe is to try to get visa free with China ASAP and do a huge marketing campaign in China. They have over 1 billion people so it’s a huge market to attract.

Propaganda against Iran has NOTHING to do with it! And if anything, if Iran's social policies were normal like the other 99% of the countries in the world that propaganda could actually help in attracting more tourists!

Who in their right mind is going to take their family on vacation to a country where there is a Dress Code?
Yes people go on vacation to see other cultures but NO ONE in their right mind goes on vacation to a country where they are FORCED to live like other cultures! It's absurd! People travel to have fun not to be told what to where and how to live!

Iran has clear blue water beaches but most of Iran's southern cost is underdeveloped because NO ONE wants to take their family to beaches where the women and man have to be separated! Who in their right mind would take their wife on a honeymoon to such a place?
Vast majority of young people that travel, wanna see the world, party & enjoy life at the same time and they most definitely aren't going to spend their time and money in a country with no night life!!

3-5 Million Tourists from Russia alone visit Turkey on a yearly bases and they go there because they can go enjoy the weather, drink, party, meet women & buy Turkish made products all at a low cost and go home!

Why do think Russians choose Turkey over Iran? It sure as hell isn't because of Western Propaganda! If anything most Russians like Iran's foreign policy.
The answer is clear and it has nothing to do with how the U.S. portray Iran but rather how Iran portray it's self!

You talk about China as if the Chinese don't like to party and have fun!

You think these people would wanna go to a country where their women are separated from their men at beaches
,where there is no night life or Alcoholic beverages?

Yes Iran should at least have 10 million Chinese, Russian & Indian tourists coming to Iran on a yearly bases but the reason they don't come has NOTHING to do with western propaganda and everything to do with Iran's own behavior and policies

From ski resorts, to beaches, to mountain climbing, historic sites, comparatively low cost great tasting food, products & hotels,..... Iran has it all and the ONLY thing preventing Iran from taking it's economy to the next level is Iran it's self NOT THE WEST!

Look at Turkey without large stock of Oil or Natural Gas they have built an economy twice the size of Iran's around tourism and they used Tourism to introduce & sell their own products
