Qatar has gotten better from 20 years ago. So has Bahrain.
UAE however was at its heights in the 90s starting by qualification for Italia 90 and then attending the finals of Asian Cup. They have regressed pretty much since. This year though they seem to have a better team specially with their play maker Jimi Hendrix Al Amoudi.
IR has remained stagnant since 98.
They has some sparks of football during the late 90s but those have completely extinguished now.
Queiroz is doing an amazing job with what he has available to him. He has a shit squad and has qualified for the second round not conceding a goal. That is an achievement given how shitty the team plays. Now is this football deserving of Iranian people, under the current system is probably the best they can do.
Under different circumstances, sky would have been the limit with the amount of talent available in that country.
