not comparedd to the Merkava Mk 4, not by a long shot.
The Iranian Military is not too impressive in my view. They have a decent size force, but htey lack hardware. The problem with armies like this one is that you have units that have very good and new hardware, like the Zulfiqar, and you have units with Chieftains or Type-59 tanks. A lot of their inf is not mechanised yet, and during the Iran-Iraq war their high command did not show any sighn of military brilliance. If you ask me, they are only slightly better than the Iraqis in 1991.
