It's not from Iran. The writing is Arabic.
The threat of infiltration through Mexico is very real, as is the one through airports. But ROLF of HILL COUNTRY is absolutely right. There is no point in wearing badges and uniforms (also what Uniform is red?) when you are a terrorist infiltrating through the border. It's also unlikely that the badge would rip only to be found... I doubt the badges are legit.
Could you identify the Arabic writing on the first badge?
Found following link regarding the patches:

They were apparently all part of one jacket found in Texas. Why they were torn off instead of being left on the jacket is not explained. The Arabic on the first patch is translated as Defense Center,’ ‘Ministry of Defense,’ or ‘Defense Headquarters.’ The bottom of the patch read ‘Martyr,’ ‘Way to Eternal Life’ or ‘Way to Immortality.’”
“(also what Uniform is red?)”
I'm sorry, I should have pointed that out in my original post; it appears to me to be from a flight suit, and a parachutist category. As to the writing, I'm not an expert on the “scribble alphabets”, but Persian (Farsi) looks similar to me.
I still think they're from allied students.
It says Defense Brigades. Martyrdom is the way to immortality.
It’s Syrian. Assaad means lion in Arabic, hence the lion.

The 2nd word at the top says “Defense.” I couldn’t tell if one of the letters in the 1st word was a B or a Y, so I ran the word through a translator spelled with a Y and got “secrecy” and with a B and got “mirage.” Hmmmm...
I can’t make out the script on the bottom clear enough.
