"Probably no Iran-Iraq war"

Definitively no Iran-Iraq war. The iraqi attack was born out of opportunism, taking advantage of the iranian weakness. Saddam would not have dared otherwise. My memory is a bit rusty but IIRC there were some clashes in the 70's during the imperial era and the iraqi forces involved were smashed pretty badly.

"No Hezballah"

I would suspect that long as the israeli go into Lebanon as historically did something like Hizballah would probably come out.Even with Iran out of the picture there is still Syria for material support.They might not be as powerful of course.

"If anyone is up for another what-if mod, an Iranian OOB without the revolution could be quite fun."

I have been toying with the idea for some time.If and when I can find some time...
