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.
