Has Iran ever considered using depleted Uranium for its armored vehicle or tanks like karrar. You'd think with the nuclear program their would be alot of byproduct from enrichment that can have military applications.

There was a news article I read a while back that said was working on DU tank shells.

So I would assume Iran is well aware of the military applications and is working on it.

Karrar is ready to be commissioned to armed forces:

I thought this post would be appropriate here because Iran's Karrar is basically T-90 with minor differences.

==============================================
Expert: Russian tanks helpless against US-made Javelin anti-tank missiles
Russian defence reporter and military expert Alexey Khlopotov fearing that Russian main battle tanks would be helpless against man-portable fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles like the Javelin.
Alexei Khlopotov clarified that in the existing versions all Russian serial tanks are practically defenseless against a US-made Javelin anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). Khlopotov noted that even with a lot of disadvantages, Amercian ATGMs can confidently hit modern and upgraded tanks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The Javelin anti-tank missile is capable of defeating modern tanks by attacking them from above at the top armor, which is generally thinner and has weak protection. It uses a fire-and-forget, automatic infrared guidance that allows the user to seek cover immediately after launch.
The Javelin employs a long-wave infrared (LWIR) seeker for guidance to destroy tanks, bunkers, buildings, small vessel and low-speed helicopters with a high hit probability. It carries a tandem shaped charge enabling a maximum range of 2,500m.
According to the expert, it is urgent to carry out a number of measures that could reduce the effectiveness of such anti-tank weapons. This, above all, installation of active protection systems on tanks, which could reliably defeat ATGMs.
Also, of course, need to improve the means of reducing thermal visibility and it is necessary to fundamentally revise the principles of installing dynamic protection on top armor, the expert emphasized.
Only an integrated approach will significantly reduce Javelin’s threat, said Alexei Khlopotov.

and American tanks are helpless against Russian Anti Tank missiles without active protection ....

Javelin has a short range in a non-ambush operation. Hence best defense is to kill it with 30mm or 12.7mm suppression fire before the javelin team comes too close.
If the team is brave enough or gets an ambush shot, IR spectrum smoke grenades are the best defense. A IR warning system will be necessary for that or the tanks TI sight picks it up.

Irans Spike copy is also such a top attack weapon, hopefully with longer range and shorter arming time. The question is only whether one Spike copy is more worth than 5 Delaviye Kornet copies. The Delaviye is the better option, the Spike copy or a javelin are only cost effective for SOF.

The article is biased, otherwise they would have mentioned the defense via modern smoke grenades.

Is Karrar tank ERA at turret fromt as capable as Relikt ERA, i observed it's ERA for many times and i see it's so identical Relikt ERA, so it is as capable as Relikt ERA??

It is more like upgrading. It will happen in the same facility that assembled the T-72. They are going to upgrade the T72 to Karrar:
