I’m not trying to make a value judgement as to whether this is good/bad/etc, but it is kind of amazing Iran is still able to throw any weight around on the world stage.
They’re not friendly with the US or most of it’s Allies obviously, but they’ve also made enemies of Saudi Arabia (and by extension Saudi Arabia’s allies). They have almost no powerful friends, at this moment in time, Russia might throw them a bit of help, but it looks like their only ally of consequence is India.

Saudi Arabia is a US ally though
It’s complicated
