If your goal was to increase the violence in the Middle East, then sending these weapons would be a good strategy.
Keep trying - someone might care.

well Iran is now going to get 250 SU-30 aircraft and 20 tankers. Rumors have it they will also get Mig-31s which are all being upgraded by Russia right now.

Possibly even some more advanced radar systems.

The government was spending 20% of their GDP on oil subsidiaries. They cut back on that drastically and have put the money into their military.





The new cold war is taking place in the M.E.
Russia versus the West

And cigarettes and lighters cause fires like spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat!


Seriously though, Arms are just tools, if the middle eastern countries want to use them for offense, its their choice, just as it is to use them for defense.

If the Middle Eastern countries want to buy weapons and wipe each other out without allied troops involvement thats even better!!!
