Iran has always been been an imperial power as opposed to a colonial power, so while it has had periods of expansion (with numerous former kingdoms in its empires), it has never had colonies. Iran still has a territorial dispute with United Arab Emirates over three small islands in the Persian Gulf (Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa), but this is not colonization as they form an integral part of Iran.
In terms of other empires colonizing Iran, the Russians/Soviets had a sphere of influence in the northern third of the country from the early 1900s until World War II. The British also maintained a sphere of influence in the southeast (Balochistan) near the British India Colony (now Pakistan) and a sphere of influence in the southwest (Khuzestan) near the border with Iraq. As Iran was centrally positioned and rather large, no country could outwardly colonize it, similar to China. The Big Powers would have opposed one another.
