mfw force-juche-ing a country that has always wanted to do a heap of trade with the west leads to a sustainable local defense industry that’s impossible to damage with blockades or sanctions

New bit: being super into Iranian ballistics missiles instead of trains
A senior adviser to the command of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force indicated that Tehran’s missile industry is self-sufficient and is able to rely on its own domestic production and resources. Brigadier General Ali Bilali said the missile industry was now “more homegrown than Persian carpets”, adding that the industry had reached a level of maturity where it can continue based on domestic capabilities.

Does that mean they have domestic chip fabs for the guidance, or are those just unstoppably dual use and ubiquitous?
Iran is just flexing at this point testing missiles rather than using them. Could just test them by lobbing them at the nearest available military target but nah they have so many missiles they don’t need to do damage with these. Incredible
If you listen closely, you can hear Deng laugh.
Hopefully one of them hits London
