Yeah bro, its not about how skilled or capable you are as a commander in Iran, its about how much of a stain you have on your forehead.
These forehead comments are actually making me crease
But on a serious note, and this is not unique to Iran, we do have an issue of Loyalty > Experience; Surname > Experience; Family > Experience. I'd like to think that Rouhani's technocratic governance and Brig. Gen. Hatami knowing how crippled the Artesh is and understanding that despite the IRGC being a powerful & efficient force; is nowhere near its true potential due to mismanagement and corruption, will have made some headway into tackling this issue.
Thus far, promising signs include the order by the aforementioned and SL Khamenei for the Artesh and IRGC to divest from unrelated financial activities. But as is the case in Iran, I'll believe it when I see it.
