List of tallest buildings in Iran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the tallest buildings in Iran with a structural height of at least 100 m (330 ft).
As of 2026, the Fereshteh Pasargad Hotel in Tehran is the tallest building in Iran, having topped out at a height of 235 m (771 ft). Although the building has reached its full height, it remains in the final stages of completion.
Although the Milad Tower is the tallest structure in Iran at 435 m (1,427 ft), it is excluded from this list. It is classified as a telecommunications and observation tower rather than a building because its habitable floor area occupies less than 50% of its total height. Despite its use as a major tourism hub, it remains categorized as a self-supporting tower.
