You have to give it to Iranians. They have managed to develop a formidable defense industry despite crippling sanctions from the West. If it were not for these sanctions, Iran would probably be a power center with far-reaching influence across the globe. It could also be argued that the sanctions have triggered survival instincts in the country, pushing it to achieve feats it could not without pressure. Notably, the country has invested disproportionately in air defenses and short and long-range missiles, which enable its forces to project fear further than they should, against parties who should feel safer. Rumors doing rounds suggest an impending possible attack against Iran's nuclear facilities by Israel. In response, Iran has promised a crashing retaliation against all centers, bases, spaces, and routes aiding any such aggression. This message is directed at Arab nations, such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and UAE, all of which have recently regularized relations with Israel.
