Notes In 2017, an Iranian taekwondo athlete tested positive for doping, and the number of medals had to be reduced to 97. In 2021, the game site's sources mistakenly recorded one more cycling medal for Iran. In the Para-table tennis competition, two bronze medals were recorded for Iran. Given the small number of participants and unclear information, it seems that two Iranian representatives came fourth and a joint bronze medal was not distributed. However, there is no accurate information. Most likely, the number of 130 medals for Iran is more correct.
