South American agent in Iran needs translation (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

argentinian

'south american' is the definition.
(Argentinian is an example)

'agent in iran needs translation' is the wordplay.
'needs translation' is an anagram indicator.
'agent'+'in'+'iran'='agentiniran'
'agentiniran' anagrammed gives 'ARGENTINIAN'.

(Another definition for argentinian that I've seen is " Eg, native of Buenos Aires".)
