How long does it take for Iran to earn the same amount in oil revenue? If it's not that long then really the money is not an important factor in this supposed deal.
Iran exports about 1-1.5M barrels a day “officially” and unofficially (passing it off as Iraqi oil or blending it with other oil) probably more.
But let’s say 1M barrels a day.
Iranian oil is sold at discount so let’s $85 a barrel.
That means Iran’s monthly oil revenues are conservatively somewhere around 2.5B per month.
So to answer your question 1-2 months. And with Azadagan field being drilled even more....oil is pulled out at $1-2 a barrel so that can add future oil income.
Like I said a few billions isn’t going to get Iran out of bed for such a deal.
Economic deals (trade deals) or military tech deals will.
Can you point out when or where was it captured?
Throughout the years Israeli drones have crashed or been brought down electronically in Lebanon/Syria/Iraq. The Israeli Harop suicide drone crashed in Iran relatively intact during the Armenia-Azeri war recently.
US drones like scan eagle/RQ-170/Predator have been down or hacked in Iranian territory since 2005.
Also it’s not hard to get a hold of a drone via black market if you have the right connections.
However, I will say that Iranian drones have reached their own level of designs. But western designs are still incorporated.
