From the perspective of world history, the fastest-growing religion is probably Islam, which has a history of only more than 1,000 years. However, once it was born, it spread rapidly to the world. Through conquest by force and forced change of faith, Islam took the entire Middle East , North Africa, Central Asia and other places, and expanded it to southern Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia and other places, forming the huge Muslim world in the world today. There are 55 countries in the Islamic world now, with a population of 2 billion, but most of them are very weak and have no ability to conquer the world back then. Only Iran can be called the first. So there are so many Islamic countries, why is Iran the only one who has the strongest combat effectiveness? In fact, there are three reasons, and the last one is the most important.
From modern times to modern times, the entire Islamic world is full of sorrow, becoming a powder keg of war, a place of war, and arbitrarily ravaged by the West. Each military force is very weak, and traditional Islam actually has four powerful countries, Egypt , Saudi Arabia, Türkiye , and Iran. They were extremely powerful in ancient times.
But now under the attack of the West, Saudi Arabia surrendered directly, and now even the militia cannot defeat it. Egypt was once the strongest, but was beaten to the point of being forced to surrender by Israel. Now it is also timid. Turkey has been beaten for more than 200 years in modern times and has been completely defeated by the West. It is determined to join the West and enter the EU, and it doesn't even know what its surname is.
But only Iran has the strongest military force now. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, it has basically fought against the West alone. It has been more than 40 years since then. The United States and the West dare not touch it. It has remained unstoppable and even Israel dare not fight. The current Iranian army still has nearly one million people, advanced weapons and equipment, rich combat experience, and powerful combat.
Not to mention its own strength, the Taliban, Houthi armed forces, , Somali Al Shabaab and others all have strong combat power, which shows that Iran's military strength is strong. So the question is, there are so many Islamic countries, why is only Iran the strongest military strength? In fact, there are three main reasons, and the last one is the most important.
first, the tradition of the Persian Empire .
Ancient Persian is one of the oldest nations in Asia. It created splendid culture and civilization, and established the Persian Empire that was prosperous for hundreds of years in ancient times, and was once as famous as the great powers of the East. The Persians have always been known for their bravery and good combat. At its peak, neither the Arabs nor the Ottomans could destroy or defeat the Persians. It was enough to see the power of the Persians. Therefore, under such inheritance, Iran has not changed its ethnic culture, and this innate combat power is naturally incomparable to other Muslim countries.
Second, the only Islamic country with strong military industry.
There are so many Islamic countries in the world, and the most important thing about weak military power is that there is no strong military industry, which makes weapons and equipment subject to others. For example, Saudi Arabia has bought the most advanced weapons in the world, but it is still useless. Iran has established a strong military industry, and its military weapons can be self-sufficient. It can not only produce guns and ammunition, but also tanks, warships, fighter jets, etc., and its performance is good, not only satisfying itself, but also exporting.
In addition, Iran can even launch military satellites, which also has satellite recovery technology, nuclear technology, drone technology, etc. It can be said that it is very comprehensive. It is precisely because these other Muslim countries cannot do it. Only Iran can do it, which makes Iran's military completely uncontrollable. It is extremely powerful and the Islamic country is the first to none.
Third, the crisis under religious rule, this is the most critical.
There were two sentences in ancient China, called "One unity, destroying the dead", "a mourning soldier will win", these two sentences are most suitable for Iran.Iran is the only Shiite Muslim country, and its doctrines and beliefs are relatively extreme. It can be seen from the current integration of politics and religion. However, such Shiites have achieved a high degree of unity of the army. The thoughts are under the strict influence and control of religion. Therefore, the Iranian army is united. How can it not be strong wherever it points to fight?
In addition, Iran has a very strong sense of crisis, surrounded and blocked by Sunni Muslims, and outside, Western countries are eyeing them and swallowing them at any time. Therefore, the Iranian army has the most sense of crisis and urgency, and fight for the country at any time. This kind of morale is not comparable to Saudi playboy soldiers, Egypt's idle soldiers, and Turkey's blind self-soldiers. So the United States knows this. Although it has to fight Iran verbally ten thousand times, it just dares not really take action.
