So your info comes from another forum.... not the most reputable of sources. Where would the Iranians have an M1A1 to modify? Sounds like garbage to me. I can see mods of T-72s, M-48s and M-60s. But I doubt anything particularly advanced came from those.

I'm wondering how they were able to compare? In order to compare they would need actual info on the Zulfiqar 3. Can you ask them to provide that info (and their source)?

Wikipedia says that it is essentially either a Patton with a 125mm gun in a box turret that's auto-loaded. I guess they can compare in a sense that both guns are capable of mashing armor.

There are three tanks here that we're talking about. Zulfiqar 1, 2, and 3. Almaleki said that there are significant differences between them. I'm curious as to what those differences are.

There are external links to images of the #1 and #3 on the wikipedia page. I've uploaded them to this post, hopefully they are of what they say they are. From the images i'm assuming 03 and 04 are the # and 05 is the #1. Wiki says two was a technology demonstrater. I know wiki isnt the best image source, but it will have to do till we find a more accurate one.

I would not consider them a threat since we built the tanks then we know how to destroy them in war.

For sure the US knows how to destroy them.
Just like how they plan to destroy any other modern tank out there in a shooting war.
I very much doubt that the US implemented some secret "blow up trigger" into their export Abrams which is controlled by a big red buzzer in the Pentagon...

The Iranian Zulfiqar tanks are indigenous designs, probably with a lot of help from their Chinese friends. So unless you are a Chinese or Iranian you can not say that "we" built these tanks. 
But well, most has been said about those Zulfiqars. The latest version Zulfiqar 3 has never left the flatbed truck in public so as far as today we don't have a proof they are able to drive on their own at all. Let alone the state of development of their fire control system and so on.

They have a couple of proto types for testing purposes but so far the emphasis has been the T-72 series for upgrades and new builds which now they do have the resources to do.
The Fire control more than likely is the same as Chinese Type 98.
