It's not impossible that they are Iranian. But there's nothing to say that they are, so if a propagandist wanted it to look like "sexy Iranian women" the fact that it doesn't is poor execution.
What do you think a stereotypical Iranian woman would look like, that would instantly identify her as Iranian?
I'm just curious why you would just instantly dismiss the possibility, because you think they don't look Iranian? What exactly makes a woman look Iranian, to you?
I'd expect at least some of them to have big noses. And some to have slightly darker skin. And if it were propaganda to show they were Iranian, there might be something with Persian text or a landmark. Iran's a big country so it's not impossible that they're Iranian, but they don't look it to me, along with the homogeneity. I live near enough to L.A.'s "Tehrangeles" to have some familiarity. I'd also expect some jewelry.
Essentially correct. Iranian women, like most middle-eastern women, are generally some of the least attractive women on the planet, requiring gobs of makeup or surgery to not look masculine.
In fact, prior to AI, the propagandists would often use photos of Iranian beauty pageant contestants and pass them off as average Iranians. And those contestants were usually Iranians that had some foreign blood in their family (eg, European or Siberian).
As an aside, in these 'sexy-Iranian' propaganda images, the propagandists avoid Persian text because it was so strongly visually associated with 'terrorists' during the 'war on terror'. If the image has Persian text in it, they will almost always crop/shop it out.
Your point is valid. This propaganda image would usually be accompanied by text labeling them as Iranian.
In this case, it's being reused in a more subtle manner to implant a concept, or nourish a previously implanted concept.

Ok. Big noses, dark skin, jewelry= Iranian. Got it. Thanks.
