That awesome nuke deal with all of its secret side deals sure seems to have paid off. For Iran at least. I thought we were assured they'd be spending their new windfall on infrastructure. I wonder what role in infrastructure their high speed torpedo they tested on Sunday has. Stoplight? Bridge? Maybe the things that block traffic at railroad crossings?

Scariest part is them having the capacity to sell high tech shit to other countries. Obama must be grinning from lop ear to lop ear about this achievement.

Which is it?

"Dehghan further revealed that the budget to upgrade the country’s defense capabilities has also increased 2.5 percent compared to the previous administration."

Poorly written... No idea if so but maybe fake news?

The Iranian Pres said the spending has increased by 145% during his tenure. The 2.5% references increased spending to "upgrade" defense capabilities, whatever that means. Their Parliment also voted in January to boost defense spending to at least 5% of their total budget. Regardless of the total numbers, it's abundantly clear they are pouring money into the military.

I don't really care about tanks and crap. It's the money they are putting into tech and production for export that russles my jimmy. The thing that pissed me off about the Obama administration was their deceptive attempt to convince the public that desperate Iran was going to be spending the bulk of their new cash on infrastructure and economy and not terrorism and the military. Anyone with an IQ above an unripe cantelope knew that was total bullshit. It's Iran for pete's sake.
