Don't write off the Iranian Air Force and Navy, both are a viable threat to anyone that wants to tussle with them. There's about 50 out of the 79 F-14's we gave them still flying today. Not to mention another 44 F-4 and about 50 F-5's
and finally there's about 60 MiG-29's and and about 25+ MiG-27's

Navy wise, there is about 6 diesel-electric Kilo class subs, 3 frigates, 25 missile crafts, and some 200+ misc vessels that when you consider the asymmetric threat they can pose, I don't really want to be writing orbats around that.
