Yours truly hot-footed it to another country (4)
I believe the answer is:
iran
'country' is the definition.
(Iran is an example)
'yours truly hot-footed it to another' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'yours truly' could be 'i' (the person that set this crossword) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'an' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Persia today" , "bombless state" , "Former Persia" , "foreign land" , "Tehran is its capital" .)
