Iran used to have great special ops. Remainder of that force helped liberate Khoramshahr and Abadan  during the war with Iraq. Build up of that force took years of hard work and dedication but like anything else in Iran it's pretty much destroyed by Mullah's and their associates.

We, too, had some of the best special ops and other tactical detachments under Gen. Khosro-daad; may he rest in peace!
