            Objective Italians 4 Control Iraq Or Persia Or Northwest Persia: Italians met a national objective for an additional 6 PUs; end with 31 PUs

Some more advice:

It does not make sense to repair 20 damage and then buy only 1 unit. You could have also just repaired 11 damage, but the fighter and have 9 IPC left for e.g. 2 mech in South africa.

Or maybe better:
Repair 15 and buy 5 infantry.

Did you consider that yet?

You did repair “for nothing” and now I can SBR you again next turn.

sorry. I assumed submerge bc that’s what people most of the time want and I didn’t want you to want me to submerge and then you lose your subs

The logic is: When the attacker has overwhelming odds the subs might submerge. In this case the defender hat overwhelming odds, in this case subs usually fight.
