GlobalFirePower says that Turkey is on eight place, but not because of a huge army. Turkey have the doble of total aircrafts (1,007) then Iran (479), and have many times more tanks (3,778) and AFVs (7,550) then Iran (1,658) (1,315).

But Iran have an army of 545,000 where Turkey have only 410,500. Iran have also ten times more reserves (1,800,000) then Turkey (185,630). And what you said about superior fleet is not holding ground when Iran have 398 naval vessels, where Turkey have only 194. And it would be hard to both nations to blockade each other when Iran have 254 costal defence crafts and that Turkey have ten more frigates (16) then Iran (6). Also does Turkey have a bigger coastline.

Iran have also more towed-artillary and MLRSs then Turkey. Turkey may have a slightly bigger labor force then Iran and may use more money on defence, but Iran is to powerful for Turkey to occupy and blockade.
