After the successful launch using the new solid fuel second stage engine (Salman), the next satellite launch will use an SLV with a new solid fuel first stage as well.
IRGC Ground Forces will receive long-range Fotros UAVs from the Defense Ministry "in the near future". 
IRIN Commander Khanzadi has announced that construction of the 3000 ton "Besat" submarine will begin this (Iranian) year.
This follows the successful commissioning of the first Fateh-class (530 ton) submarine into the IRIN in 2019 and successful recent domestic repairs/modernization of the Russian Kilo-class submarines (2300 ton).
Besat will thus be the largest submarine (by displacement) in Iran's possession once completed, and it is expected that construction will take 4-5 years.
Features of Besat-class submarine:

Jura The idiot
General
is it true? (I don't know, just asking)
now found this (an automatic translation should work):
Yes, sadly it is true. During training exercises there was a human error and a AShM (likely c-802) was fired against a small cruising ship (crew around 40, higher than normal - possibly for media). 19 confirmed martyred and 15 injured.
Friendly fire/lethal accidents happen a lot during training, and Iran conducts by far the most and largest training drills in the Persian Gulf/Gulf of Oman region of any regional country. But hopefully this is used as a lesson to improve professionalism and ensure it cannot happen again.
Very sad tragedy. RIP to all martyred.

Credible reports that Iran has agreed with Russia to purchase: Su-27, Su-30, Su-35 and Yak-130 training aircraft. With Su-30 to be built locally under licence (presumably with TT).
Small number of Su-27 would work well with existing Mig-29 and good for possible reverse engineering Al-31 engine (in future). Local production of Su-30 with TT adds to that possibility. Su-35 is unexpected but excellent news, probably not more than 20 Su-35s, though. Yak-130 is fantastic news for future as well.
But not officially confirmed yet... (Probably have to wait until October)
