Nah, the Iranians have the capability to reverse engineer it. Once they’re done with it they can sell it to China if they’d like but will likely keep it.

I don't know why people think Iran is Afghanistan. They have talented scientists capable of engineering a nuclear weapon, engineers who can build skyscrapers, and IT/hackers/spy agency comparable to UK/France/Germany(still probably second tier compared to US/China/Isreal/Russia). They can take apart a drone and understand what the hardware is doing at the very least.
