Do the Farsi speaking Persians use the Arabic alphabet? Or Western alphabet...?

If they are made in Iran, they'd likely be in Farsi, since Iranians are not Arab. However, if they're made by an arms manufacturer which is selling to many countries, it could be that English may be the universal language of 'big bada boom'.
