Iranian military forces fire a rocket during a military exercise in the Persian Gulf, near the strategic Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran, in this photo published on September 10. The three-day navy exercise's objectives were said to devise "tactical offensive and defensive strategies for safeguarding the country's territorial waters and shipping lanes."

An Iranian official has told Newsweek that the Islamic Republic was looking forward to buying and selling weapons with a number of international partners as a United Nations arms embargo preventing it from doing so was set to lift in days, a development that the United States has condemned as damaging to global security.
The expiration of the decade-old U.N. restrictions, set to take place Sunday, would come after a largely unsuccessful U.S. campaign to convince countries to defy the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the accompanying U.N. Security Council resolution 2231 to extend the ban on Iran's arms industry.

I'm pretty sure Iran has much to offer in terms of expertise and other resources that they can offer on lieu of "money" to obtain what they wish and I'm pretty sure others will line up to buy their offerings.
Perhaps not. Underestimating them is unwise and obtaining any and all "money" and allies they desire is/will be quite easy.
If we assume America's "allies" are the likes of Western Europe, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, Canada, and the gulf Arab states, etc we are indeed "isolated."
Looks like Iran has been reading the same US election polls as the rest of the world.
