I'm not an expert, but I believe women were granted the right to vote
and hold office in Iran in 1963 (under the Shah). For a more recent
status see

Women can vote and hold public office. However recently there has been
a setback in that women won't be allowed to run for the Presidency in
June. Initially it appeared that they would. That's too bad because
perhaps Iran could have had a female president before the US has one.
Things change slowly in all male dominated societies.
