Introductions to quiet old men in Iranian city (3)

I believe the answer is:

qom

'iranian city' is the definition.
(Qom is a city in Iran)

'introductions to quiet old men' is the wordplay.
'introductions to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'quiet old men' is 'QOM'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for qom that I've seen before include "Pilgrimage centre" , "Holy city" .)
