Goals by Iranian heartthrob Sardar Azmoun (29th minute), Andranik Teymourian (47th) and Mehdi Taromi (51st) helped Iran to chalk up their second win in three outings while India slid to their third consecutive defeat following similar 1-2 losses to Oman and Guam.
The fitter, faster and more skillful Iranians were far too better drilled than the Indians who after an enthusiastic first-half display for nearly 30 minutes, faded away on resumption of play.
With this win, Iran advanced to the top spot of Group D of the competitions with 7 points.
