City state her analysis covers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teheran

'city' is the definition.
(Teheran is an example)

'state her analysis covers' is the wordplay.
'covers' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'covering' mean this).
'TEHERAN' is hidden in the letters of 'state her analysis'.

(Other definitions for teheran that I've seen before include "City" , "Iran capital (one spelling)" , "Iran's capital" , "Near the (anag) - capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
