• July 2006, Iran declared the winner of the proxy war against Israel in Lebanon by all expert accounts (including Israeli experts).
• March 2007, Iran arrests 15 Royal Navy personnel in Persia Gulf
• Dec. 2011, Iran captures intruding US RQ-170 and does not return it despite US demands and threats (while just 7 months earlier US violated Pakistan sovereignty and killed Bin Laden there).
• Aug 2011, US president, Obama, demands for the first time that Iran ally, Assad, "must go" and Iran says "no" and eight years later he is still in power.
• March 2015, Saudi Arabia leading a coalition of nine countries from the Middle East and Africa planned to get rid of Iranian proxies in Yemen in a matter of weeks and 4 years later not only the coalition has not won but thought to be losing the war.
• Jan 2016, Iran detains 10 US sailors in Persian Gulf.
• June 2019, Iran shoots down US Global Hawk and gets an appreciation from US president for not shooting down the manned US plane at the same time!
• July 2019, Iran captures British tanker and in response Britain asks US and Europe to send more battle ships to the Persian Gulf to make sure no more British ships get captured while not doing anything about the one already captured.
Above is not to mention defeat of ISIS, prevention of Kurdish independence movement in Iraq, controlling Iraqi militia, and many other major geopolitical and military events in the region over the past decade and yet some of the comments on this board, belittling or minimizing Iran's achievements, reminds me of the Black Knight from Monty Python:

به قول گفتنی رو که نیست سنگ پا قزوینه
همین ها تو ترید
Is Assad at the verge and what does his fall mean for Iran?!
شش سال ما باهاشون سرو کله میزدیم که اقا ایران نخوواهد گذاشت که بشار سقوط کنه
می امدن یک کس و شعرهایی میگفتند که نگو
الان بعد از سالها این ترید رو که بخونی خنده ات میگیره
و پی میبری تا چه اندازه اینها ایران رو دست کم گرفته اند و تا چه اندازه فکر میکردند بشار چون امریکا میخواد بیافته مثل قذافی سقوط میکنه
همینطور اون ترید جنگ حزب الله و اسرائیل سال 2006 و حرفهایی برخی از اعضا که دو زار نمی ارزید و هر کسی شده بود کارشناس
ارتش و کارشناس سیاسی
یا ترید ارکیو 170 که باز امده بودند که مگه مییشه ارکیو 170 را کنترل کرد اقا دروغه چوب پنبه است
و هرکسی امده بود و شده بود متخصص کنترل پهپاد و نظر میداد که ایران دروغ میگه
الان همان اش و همان کاسه
فرقی نکرده افکار این جماعت در دواران افتابه سازی و حتی ما قبل افتابه سازی مانده اند
