Blame Incomptence for current state of Iranian military affairs.
When Soviet Union collapsed there was a fire sale of military hardware. The countries that were smart scooped up valuable tech.
Iran on the other hand settled for stupid things like tanks (which become obsolete pretty quickly) among other things. Luckily they managed to procure 3 Kilo subs which are still operating today and some things through Belarus.
Iran then realized it could have bought warships and even long range bomber aircraft and other more valuable tech. By the time Iran realized its mistake, Russia was no longer desperate and trying to nudge closer to the west. Arms deals started falling apart and so began the current state of affairs.
