Because regime in Iran is already on last stage, why waste resources on something once u actually might not need it later.
We've been hearing this for 44 years in a row. And yet, the Islamic Republic is standing strong.
Absolutely why would Pakistan trade with Iran when all money goes for Sardars of sepah & etalat not the Muslim people facing worst economical situation than many poor African countries despite so much of hydrocarbons.
Sepah commanders aren't exactly known for enriching themselves illegally nor for leading lavish lifestyles. The western- and zionist-funded propaganda machine itself, always quick to blow negative aspects out of proportion and to spread disinformation about Iran, has mostly been accusing politicians rather than military commanders of corruption.
Same goes for Iran's Leadership by the way, the top institution in the country, whose virtue in this area is admitted including by his enemies. As an example, Ata'Ollah Mohajerani, a prominent liberal dissident in exile and opponent of the Supreme Leader, publicly stated based on his knowledge as a former official of the Islamic Rrepublic, that he never saw any indication of seyyed Khamenei (h.A.) engaging in financial corruption.
As for the living standards of Iranians, they are way above those of individuals in the poorest of countries.
Most importantly though, elites in Iran aren't really more economically corrupt than their counterparts in most other places. Here the question arises, what about Pakistan herself? Complaints about corrupt practices within the Pakistani establishment aren't uncommon from nationals on this very forum. By that logic then, Pakistan would have to be sanctioning herself as well, which wouldn't make sense.
That's blatant lie Iran keeps telling. Rest of your post is correct
Iranian air defence is strong and fielding powerful systems (OTH and AESA radars, modern electro-optical devices, advanced SAM complexes covering all ranges and altitudes, an integrated IADS structure coupled with enhanced autonomous capabilities of individual units, high mobility, high survivability thanks to rugged terrain, a large surface area and numerous hardened shelters built beneath mountains to stay at when not on active duty). It has furnished partial demonstration of its worth in concrete situations (capturing a low-observable USA RQ-170 unharmed, downing a top of the line USA RQ-4A surveillance UAV as well as countless other American and zionist drones, contributing to keeping safe Iranian skies from zionist and/or NATO airstrikes against Iranian nuclear installations - something they've kept threatening Iran with, etc).
