Zulfiqar (ذوالفقار) is an Iranian main battle tank, conceived by Brigadier General Mir-Younes Masoumzadeh, deputy ground force commander for research and self-sufficiency of the armed forces. It is named after Zulfiqar, the legendary sword of Ali the fourth Caliph and the first Shiite Imam.
The test prototypes of the tank were evaluated in 1993. Six semi-industrial prototypes of the tank were produced and tested in 1997
The Zulfiqar-3 is the most advanced variant of the Zulfiqar family, it bears an uncanny resemblance to the American M1 Abrams. It features considerable upgrades to the fire control system, chassis, engine and main gun. The new variant is equipped with the 2A46 125 mm smoothbore cannon with an autoloader, a laser rangefinder and a new fire control system. It is also fitted with a reinforced turret and the wheels are covered by an armoured skirt.
The image is of Zulfiqar-3 at a military day 2013, Iran apparently has 200 odd of all models

Forgot to say it, but this kind of digital camouflage pattern insults my eyes, I have no words to describe how! Sadly this kind of pattern seems to be sweeping all over the world's armed forces. I am hopeful it's a short lived fad and nothing more.

3rd Khordad medium-range air defence system
The drone got famous after it downed the RQ-4A Global Hawk Surveillance Drone in 2019. One of Iran's most potent indigenously built AD system.

Iran made Khordad 15 missile defense system
The system is capable of detecting fighter jets, cruise missiles and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) from 150 kilometres away and is able to track them within a range of 120 kilometres and the Sayyad-3 missile, used by the SAM system, has a range of 200 kilometres. The system can also detect stealth targets from a distance of 85 kilometres and can intercept and destroy them within a range of 45 kilometres.

IRGC unveils new smart ballistic missile launcher
On Wednesday, the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled the automatic and intelligent system of long-range ballistic missile launcher that is capable of launching consecutive missiles.
Speaking in this ceremony, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami noted, “Our missile power guarantees the retreat of the enemies due to the fact that such power will be frightening our enemies.”
Salami also considered such ballistic missiles as a strong pillar and deterrent power for the Islamic Republic of Iran with which the authority of the country is shown to the enemy.

Iran has built a huge mock-up airbase near Semnan for missile targetting. Craters all over the field that show Iran's advancement in precision-guided missile capabilities:

Iran has no access to the technologies involved in making the Patriot. I believe some of Iran's British built corvettes (vosper-thornycraft?) were equipped with American SM-1 type anti-air missiles. These have very likely served as the basis for Iran's indigenous AA systems such as the Khordad-15.
