few good research papers among many. muslim countries needs improvement.
I can agree that yes the muslim world needs improvement overall with regards to STEM.
But Iran is ahead of most of its peers in Muslim world by large amount on per capita basis.
They are peer reviewed in large number and have a solid citation per paper:

Ranking is good and improving each year. They should be emulated by rest of Islamic world given they are doing this with much lower GDP per capita than Turkey (in nominal USD terms) and about same population.
In 1996 they were just below Pakistan in ranking (rank 53). Now they are ranked number 16 and are catching up with some true science heavyweights.
