Abu Mahdi was an ally to Iran and friend & comrade to Immortal Beloved Soleimani; his children are fluent in Farsi and he might have been as well.

no lol, the Damavand 2, Talayieh, and possibly the others under construction visibly have stealth masts

A mast covering is one component of RCS reduction design. And Iran has indicated there will be 7 Mowj ships. 3 have been built, 1 is being repaired (Damavand), and 3 more are in construction phases. I think after the 7th is done they will move on from the design.

The Zumwalt for example has a an RCS of a fishing boat using the latest (at the time of prototype stage) in Low observable RCS design construction. Unfortunately like many US designs it’s other costs caused the ship price to balloon to very high levels. Not mass producing caused price per ship to remain very high when RD & production costs were accounted for.

Can't Iran name its weapons systems after national heroes? Now, most Iranians have Arabic or Iranianized versions of Arabic names (either as their first or last name). In fact as per the custom, the first name of every Moslem Iranian (i.e. around 99% of the population) has to include at least one Quranic i.e. Arabic component. A surname like Soleimani originally isn't Iranian either. A ballistic missile was named after him but noone will find it inappropriate.

He was fluent in Farsi too.

Finished development, it's in service afaik

Artesh already has a destroyer under construction, the Khalije-Fars.

Khalije fars is a training ship with displacement of 5000 tons not a destroyer class name, yes Artesh has their own plans but not enough budage
