I don't know the various sects within Islam, as I know lots of artwork is viewed as violating Islam's proscription against personal images. Isn't that why much of Islamic art centers on caligraphy? Some Shia sects disdain those ancient monuments constructed by different groups. I admit my ignorance as to what proscriptions prevail in Iran. That's why I asked if those proscriptions apply within Iran.
You did not find any thing??? There is a thing called “ google”. You can go there, type ISIS and ancient sites, boom!

Iran has witnessed so many era of rulers with hugely different set of thinking so it has affected all aspect of Iran culture including art. I am no artist so i can get specific about that but I can say you are right. Most personal images are reminiscent of idolatry so some of Muslims don’t encourage that.
