Ok but actually, speaking as a person who studied flags, its not actually far off. Obviously not the France being muslim part, and whether or not the Iranian flag has any influence from the french, Idk, but there would have been a good chance you would have been right if you threw a dart at a map. Although more accurately most tricolor flags are inspired from either the red, white, and blue or the orange, white, and blue Dutch flags. Some of them in really roundabout ways.

Firstly, obviously someone invented tricolor flags, it's not much of a revelation.

Secondly, if you studied a bit more, you'd know that the colors of Iranian flag aren't random, but are typical for Muslim countries and are a subset of the pan-Arabic colors. Green represents Islam in Muslim symbology both in flags and elsewhere.
