Sorry I exagerated , only 10 seconds.
China, not Iran. Iran does not have the capacity (or realy need) to operate a CV - sheet, they don't have the cpapacity to defend a carrier let alone operate one.

China bought and is refurbishing one of Russia's 2 mid size carriers (comparable in size to French carriers) and are supposedly developing / planning a new CV for the ground up...
