At the moment, Iran holds the 14th rank in military power in comparison to other countries. Iran's Supreme Leader claims that he has been prioritizing military power over the economy to increase stability. But in contrast, all the information tells us that Iran's military equipment after the revolution is outdated, and they only have manpower and missiles.

I want to know if Iran under the Islamic Republic regime is more successful in providing better military results in comparison to the Shah's regime.

Basically, I am asking for Iran's military power rank in 1978.
