Looking at the Iranian military parades and what not and the mindless Iranian attack inside Pakistan 1-2 years ago, to which Pakistan responded in kind, gave me distinct impression that Iran is just one more loudmouth Middle Eastern 'power'. The attack on Pakistan by the rogue elements in Iran was so unwarranted and stupid. Even India wouldn't do that over a minor irritant--and I know the Indian attack on Pakistan on May 7, 2025. The Middle East has only two real military powers: Israel and Turkey (Pakistan is not part of the Middle East). The rest in the Middle East, including Egypt, are two-bit powers.
