Is there any refference to Iran anywhere being a red horse or a sword ?

IIRC, colors in the Bible are sometimes associated with direction and the color red is associated with lands to the East.

Another interesting prophecy is Daniel's vision of the woman in the basket, and flying scrolls.

Zechariah 5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. 7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

The land of Shinar takes in part of present day Iran. At least one very knowledgeable Bible scholar has tied the "woman" to a translation error that actually means a kind of fire. What kind of fire needs to be shielded by a talent of lead? Also, some believe the cylindrical scrolls represent Daniel's best way of describing what are today's ICBMs.

Who would have thought that the very land of Persia with King Cyrus would do God's will and deliver the children of Israel from Babylon would turn into this the modern day Iran.
Then again ? Daniel's answer was hindered being delivered by a messenger from God because that angle or messenger from God was held up, or hindered, or was fighting against the Prince of Persia.
But the truth of the matter was that as soon as Daniel opened his mouth to pray and speak to God that God already dispatched his answer and messenger to him.
Sometimes we think that God does not hear us, however there are reasons why our prayer's don't get answered in the time frame that we expected it to happen.
John the Baptist's father and mother must have prayed and begged God for a child, but, it " SEEMED " to them that either God didn't care ? or God was on vacation ? or that God didn't want to hear them ? or that God was slow ?
And they had to agonize with Elisibeth being barren for many years even into their old age.
But what they were not aware of is that God was up to something, God was up to something good.
We do not always know the ways and plans of God and it seems that God has forgotten us, but God is cooking up something good in his kitchen to use that sort of metaphor.
We do not always see or know what God is up to, because if we could see it ? then it would not be faith.
His will is for us to trust him and walk by faith.

Sounds more like the 2 women with wings as storks are actually helicopters or a V-22 Osprey lifting some kind of nuclear device by Iran's military over to Israel.
Since they have not perfected their misiles acuracry they will try to lift it.
Of course that would never make it to Israel unless Iran creates some kind of diversion to direct all of Israel's airforce somewhere else.
