# Pishraft-e Iran wall news poster, No. 46: US military aid (Farsi, Tehran)

A Farsi photo-and-caption wall sheet, 'Progress of Iran' No. 46, on army modernisation. Photographs show an F-84-type jet with US Air Force markings, tanks and a bazooka team, infantry in a live-fire exercise, crates of delivered equipment, and the Shah beside a US general and an American officer. Text says US military aid has equipped the Iranian army. The tell is card-stacking: only the delivered equipment and training are shown, and no cost or condition is mentioned.
