#5 Don't underestimate this - more cheap aircraft to train suicide pilots.

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.

#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.

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

Likely use for Iran is the latter.
