37. if even that..

I'm not familiar enough with the Islamic Iranian Ground Forces or Pasdaran divisions to know what exact battalion sizes are, but I can't imagine that this would be any more than 2,000-2,500 fighters anyway. If this is even true, that sounds more like a standard deployment level for the border. They've typically kept around 70-80% of their army on the western areas anyway, I can't imagine how 4 battalions would even be noticed except as a typical piece of propaganda from a typically desperate source.
