Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Stephan Barth:

One of the Iranian Air Force B707s which were acquired as new aircraft in the 70ies. It still carries the old "IIAF" titles (for Imperial Iranian AF); this was changed to "IRIAF" (Islamic Republic of Iran AF) after the revolution in 1979. The aircraft was still active in 2020 and was seen in complete condition in 2022.
