Question "Ask yourself who has actually been providing the Iranian airport security in Iran for the last 4 or 5 years"
Answer - Almost certainly the same people that were providing it for many years before, using the same old outdated equipment that they have used for many years before that and who will continue to provide the security even if the JCPOA gets resurrected and WSG finally get the contract underway. WSG were never going to provide the security, ie all of the security staff as part of the contract. WSG were going to provide the kit, which is still in need of being updated, (in fact given the sanctions that have been in place and the inability to import spares, their kit is probably in even greater need of an overhaul than it was 4 - 5 years ago), training, monitoring and compliance reporting, all of which are still needed.
It is of course a big if as to whether the US and the Iranians can come to an agreement, but if they do, then the WSG contract will be very much back on the table.
