Yes. 90% of Iran population are shia Muslims and Iran is the most Important and leader country of Shia Muslims.
Muslims in world are near 80% sunni and near 20% shia. researchers have counted up to 260 sect for Islam that they all belong to categories Sunni and shia. the main category of Shia is 12 Imami shia and other sects of shia are nearly extincted.
there is at least 300,000,000 shia Muslims in world, but there is no clear stat. shias always have been controlled and killed during history and so usually they hide their beliefs. all 12 Imams of shia have been killed or spent their life in prison by Omayyads and Abbasids.
Shiites believe the 11th Imam is killed. Comments are hidden, and one day of the twelfthImam will appear. Only God knows the time of the Twelfth Imam.
