[IsraelTimes] Authorities in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

It was not immediately clear what the formal charges were. Yarrahi was not in jug.
