Is .ir safe? The state of .ir domain security — Iran
.ir is safer than the internet average. Across 726,275 graded .ir domains, 73.8% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 1% 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 2026-08-16.
In the .ir zone — covering Iran — 67.2% of 500,771 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 5.1% — below the 11.8% census-wide rate.
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 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 680 | 0.1% |
| A | 672 | 0.1% |
| B | 5,738 | 0.8% |
| C | 39,423 | 5.4% |

| F | 536,127 | 73.8% |
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: 73.8% of its 726,275 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% 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?
26.2% of .ir domains score above an F and 1% 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.
