IRI Supporters' Self-contradicting Arguments

IRI’s (and its supporters’ and propagandists’) argument:

IRI is the most technologically advanced country in the world—or somewhere close to it.  It builds everything, from advanced fighter aircraft to space rockets, to UAV’s to tanks to cars, trucks.  Sanctions will have no effect on IRI's progress.  The IRI will put a man on the moon pretty soon…etc, etc.…  

Question to IRI (and its supporters and propagandists):

If the IRI is so advanced, then why do its passenger aircraft fall from the sky every other day, and why does it have to import refined oil products (including gasoline) from other countries?  Why can’t it just build passenger planes, or spare parts for those planes and build more refineries?

IRI’s (and its supporters’ and propagandists’) self-contradicting response (with veins popping out of their foreheads):  

It’s the sanctions, imperialists, Zionists, [fill in the blank]-ists who stop us from building those things.  If it wasn't for them, we would have built aircraft, or at least the spare parts for the aircraft, and we would have built more refineries....etc…

Can a representative of the great Islamic Republic please explain these contradictory arguments? As ususal, please no "safsateh".  A simple, direct answer is required.

Don't change the subject.   You know what I'm talking about.  Day in and day out you and others like you brag about how the IRI is producing homemade aircraft, rockets and missiles.  AN just announced that the IRI is putting a man in space by 2025, and they have claimed to have sent a satellite into orbit.  If they are so technologically advanced, why can't they build a simple thing such as a spare part for a civilian airplane?

IRI is top ten in various scientific fields

The IRI's West-residing Groupies have claimed on numerous occasions that the IRI is in the top ten (that would put the IRI "somewhere close" to the top) in various scientific fields.

Anon, can you cite the specific comment where someone has stated exactly "IRI is the most technologically advanced country in the world—or somewhere close to it?"

I haven't seen anyone state that. I suspect this is a deliberate strawman. 

What I have seen is comments praising certain achievements, particularly as they are accomplished in an envireonment of sanctions (economic warfare). But that is different than the claim you are trying to construct, which looks to be a strawman.

Point to the specific comment(s) if you can.
