Open Apple Account
Go to account creation, or Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
Enter the +98 number
Select Iran (+98) in Apple Account's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +98 into Apple Account.

Day-to-day life in Iran runs on Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram, yet Apple Account remains the app for an Apple Account with a trusted number from the country. A +98 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Accessing local services: Domestic platforms such as Snapp, Digikala and Divar verify accounts by SMS to an Iranian mobile number.
Apple two-factor authentication depends on a trusted phone number for the life of the account.
