Working near the capital (7)
I believe the answer is:
teheran
'capital' is the definition.
(Teheran is an example)
'working near the' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'near'+'the'='nearthe'
'nearthe' with letters rearranged gives 'TEHERAN'.
(Other definitions for teheran that I've seen before include "Iran capital (one spelling)" , "Near the (anag) - capital" , "Iran's capital" , "City" .)
