Tehran's country (4)

I believe the answer is:

iran

'tehran's country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Country where ayatollahs replaced a shah" , "Modern-day Persia" , "Persia some time ago" , "Nation" , "Iraq's neighbour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Star Tribune.
