What if Persia Central Powers/WWI

I'm interested in the results of Persia joining the Central Powers in WWI. OTL they stayed officially neutral and were stampeded on by both sides.

I feel there was enough pro-German and anti-British/Russian sentiment to get them involved but what then? OTL Persia was not in the best shape to fight in WW1 though they could provide some support. The POD for an effective Persia would have to be pushed back a couple decades with Persia avoiding financial collapse and foreign domination.

Positives and Negatives for Central Powers of Persia joining? Effects on Caucasus Campaign, Iraq, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and India? Could they tip the war in the Central Powers favor? Impact on Persia of a Central Powers victory or defeat? What could Persia demand at wars end if on the winning side?
