Maybe engine of F-14
 
looks like J79 to me as well.


its way too big, also if you start your way from the nozzle and work your way to the front, you will see similarities to J-79.

It takes time :) we have waited long enough and we got rewarded so many times :D Realistically, we are going to see turbo fan variant of J-85 first and sometime in the next 5 years, we will see an Iranian built RD-33. Anything beyond that is at least a decade a way especially with current climate.
 
J79 has 2-4x thrust of J85, so reverse engineering J79 would be a great leap forward for Iranian engineers.

Its also heavier, crappier when it comes to thrust to weight ratio. If Iran wants to put an effort into such a heavy engine, it should focus on Tomcat's TF-30 engine.
