He allocated 130 million for propaganda, dispatched mullahs and Revolutionary Guards to Azerbaijan, moved the 4th Corps north, and trained intel teams. Iran’s arms buildup includes MIG-29s, SU-27s, 200 T-72s, and billions in purchases from China, North Korea, Libya, and Syria, with MiGs flown in by Soviet crews.
