probably because Russia doesn't have/doesn't want to threaten its spare Su-35 production capacity because of its ongoing war...Russia knows how to be "selfish" when its real interests are at stake.

This gives me a lot of deja vu because CFM56 shares the same basic core gas generator section (HPC & HPT) as a lot of military engines, such as F101 and F110. In fact, reverse engineering CFM56 is the route that China has taken since the 1990s, which resulted in the WS10 series that is comparable with F110 and now powers most of PLAAF's air fleet (J-10, J-16, J-20).

It is entirely possible that the Iranian tomcats/Flankers can one day fly with Iranian engines, which would massively increase the readiness rate of the IRIAF and reduce reliance on smuggled foreign component, transforming it from a, well, in all honesty, parade air fleet, into a true fighting force

that's wrong news , MAPNA didn't reverse engineered a complete CFM56, they built the contraption that the engine is tied to and is used to test engines after maintenance
