Is .ir safe? The state of .ir domain security — Iran
.ir is safer than the internet average. Across 500,771 graded .ir domains, 67.2% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 1.2% earn a B or better. Most .ir domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
Note: .ir is used as a proxy for Iran based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .ir domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .ir domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|

| A | 180 | 0% |

Does .ir make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .ir doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .ir domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .ir safe?
On average, .ir is safer than the internet average: 67.2% of its 500,771 graded domains score an F as of 2026-07-29, against a 73.8% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .ir domains?
32.8% of .ir domains score above an F and 1.2% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .ir make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .ir too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .ir domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
