It's the other way around. Kids in Tehran are trying to use the service to obtain US–looking IP addresses, but then perhaps unknowingly geo–locate themselves in Tehran anyway — so some services like Meta then assume this IP belongs regionally to Tehran, which is not true. Just some other users of the same service are storing wrong data with some site operators. (The network used does not have any nodes in that region to start with.)
If you check your actual exit node used with a service like https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip you should get the expected result there.
