None to speak of. What they have is mostly left over American and Russian weapons from the Cold War. The United States and its allies gave weapons to forces in Afghanistan (including Al Quida, although it wasn't really a terrorist group yet at the time) to rebel against the Soviet Union. Since Afghanistan and several other Middle Eastern countries were part of the Soviet Union, they also have many Russian weapons left over that they're still using.

Well, according to my calculations, there was a distinctive rise in nationalism. Khomeini led a revolt against the newly appointed Iran leader, and eventually forced him into exile. Another result of the cold war in the middle east was a start of hatred between the U.S. and the Middle East.
