#8  Also a low-cost ground-support or COIN aircraft.

Likely use for Iran is the latter.

#7  Allrighty, what is the range without refueling?

#6  Exactly, 175 knots is plenty fast when you are flying "nap of the earth". Better get your AWACS tuned to eliminate ground noise boys and girls.

Private aircraft are numerous, not guarded, easy to steal/fly /hide and can carry enough to pack a sufficient bang. It is a logical choice as the next airborne weapon for jihadists.
