This is a Dysmachus sp that belongs to a group of rather difficult to ID species, D. bilobus, D transcaucasicus... because of the red base of the tibiae bilobus is an option.

I don't know if it is recorded for all species, but there clearly typical mountain species and genera like Cyrtopogon. But take the average elevation of Iran is 1305 m. It would be interesting.....
