Hard to say, the J-20 is a little too sensitive. Exporting any of the lower J's makes a lot of sense though, with the J-11 and J-16 being the best candidates (the already-exported J-10 is a little too old to fare well against F-35s). Iran desperately needs functioning fighter aircraft to shoot down Zionist F-35s.
