A 20yo Iranian Gulf War veteran from 1988 AD is a 57yo senior officer now. Add all the IRGC ops in Iraq and Syria, plus planning and smuggling for Lebanon and Yemen and Gaza. They had some corrupt allies, but their generals fought actual wars and ops on their home turf and nearby and successfully at that. Plus they proved they can sustain a fight in high-casualty wars without collapsing US/South Vietnam-style. Iranians have actual fanatics for their cause who believe in a higher power rather than "muh socialism+slightly better living standards" like many Iraqi Ba'athists did. That's all valuable.
