There are actually a ton of older ham setups in the region, including iran.
Iran fully allows ham radio. Always has. Getting equipment due to sanctions is harder of course, but many 1950s-1980s radios exist all around Iran.
North Korea, not so much. But I regularly have heard stations from Iran over the past say 10 years or so.
