Is that engine legit entering serial production ?

If they managed to get the thing produced, that will allow Iran a much wider options of application, some of which are :
-Large cruise missile in the same manner as Russian P-35 Progress
-Engining the Shahed-191
-Export
-Aeroderiviative marine powerplant for their Fast attack craft or Corvette.
-Turbofan engine deriviative.

Iranians report turbofect "OWJ" is in serial production. However it is not the only product in the aviation engine developer, they presented a Jahesh -700 turbofan engine (700 Kg)

which could be suitable for the Shahed-191, or for a small work plane in twin-engine configuration. Everything else is possible, but I have only unconfirmed hypotheses.

Why not build more of their F-5 at this rate...it use the same engine with afterburner. Still nice to see a new plane but it's clearly not overachievement... The trainer is probably more easy on the recruits, than an F-5.

wow i knew iran is fairly industrialized with decent technological know-how, but to be able to build their own jet-engine? that is impressive.
