I just came across a great Tolkien fan site from Iran: https://arda.ir/, they even have a periodical!
Following the rabbit hole I find out there are so many Persian Tolkien books: https://rowzanehnashr.com/writer/%d8%a ... %d9%84%da%a9%db%8c%d9%86/, including S, UT (with Guide to Names in LR), CoH, FoG, Tom Bombadil, Tree and Leaf, Atlas of Middle-earth. The latest one is FoG in July 2023. Here is a video: https://twitter.com/ArdaDotIR/status/1685897901271400448
I suppose they are all unauthorized, as Iran has not joined the Berne Convention, and seems to only have 30-years-after-death protection for domestic authors.
