In our library my wife has a book by the first (and thus far only) Iranian Anglican Bishop of Iran, "The Hard Awakening" by M.B. Dehqani-Tafti, a autobiography of his term as bishop from 1961 until the revolution. (The title is from a poem by the delightful, IMHO, and celebrated Persian poet Hafiz.)
My wife (who lived in Iran for a time) has shown me pictures of some Iranian Christian churches -- nothing like you'd see in England, but exquisitely beautiful.
Which does not speak to your issue -- but there were (once? maybe still are) Anglican Iranians.
State control of a church is never a good idea as Cardinal Newman once observed.
