Going into detail, the naval official added that the destroyer is the first vessel manufactured by Iran that was built by combining several segments to form the hull. "The destroyer's hull is made up of 29 parts which were connected by the most sophisticated methods in this industry," he explained.

Looks like they are based on a Vosper Mk V FFL design like the 4 they bought from the UK in the 70s.
Not a destroyer by modern definitions.
