After Iran-Iraq and being sanctioned to hell while even being invaded, Iran went into the process of independent military complex and so far has mastered to become almost fully self-sustaining (except military fighter jets, which they're trying to replace with Drones) The geography of Iran is Afghanistan 100x when it comes to moving military equipments as well due to mountains and deserts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw just one of them) Guerrilla and asymmetrical warfare is up to many levels Among other is the missile capabilities which changes the game dramatically as well. Another factor, is the mix of regular Army and IRGC which is a full topic how they differ and operate. _above just top of my head and very brief, there so many other factors that with good research can be found_ Ofc, not saying Iran is DA GREATEST and MOST POWERFUL, but for sure is able to keep up a bloody fight that causes damage to the enemy so high that no country after Iraq has dared to start one. Regardless, let's hope no country decides to attack another country, there's enough bloodshed
