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 LA Times, The Star Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Universal, The Mirror, the Newsday, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
