With the collapse of the Ottoman Empire though in 1920 though, there would be a free-for-all for its territories, meaning that you could have ended up with a scramble between France, Greece, Italy, Germany, Russia, and Iran. With a weaker Russia, Iran might have also been able to recover some of the territories that is lost to Russia during the 17th-19th centuries.

Perhaps Georgia and Armenia end up as buffer states and Azerbaijan is fully reincorporated in the Iranian state.
