I don't know enough to say definitely but I did find this

http://www.jannah.org/genderequity/equityappendix.html

I don't know how accurate it is, but I have always thought it was common in places like Sudan and Somalia. It is practiced in Malaysia, I think, and in Indonesia. Egypt seems to have a tradition of female circumcision. I don't associate it with Iran but I may well be wrong.

This concurs and I am more confident that the source is reliable (mainly because I have heard of it)
