So how powerful can we get Iran to be with a POD after the Islamic Revolution? Power as defined by economic, development, hard power, soft power; whatever really.

Basically, whats needed to get them to be a world power, and to be seen as such? Like a BRICS and what not.

Iran had the 4th largest army in the world, a nuclear program, and quickly becoming a financial capital for the Middle East before the 1979 revolution

Perhaps instead of a revolution the Shah steps down in the early 70s and have elections. An Islamic Party could win and impose Shia law and change the country's official name, but still keep relations with the US with no hostage situation. Especially if the shah doesn't get treatment in the US. Similar to what we have with the Saudis even though they are strict human rights abusers.

And have the Soviets be more active in the Middle East. The US would pump more aid, military and economic, to Iran .

Have Iran negioate a treaty with Israel as the Arab states. This would greatly improve their international standing

Well I was hoping for the changes to be after the Revolution itself was finished, but this is interesting.
