There are various hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) that describe the appearance and characteristics of the Antichrist, known as Dajjal in Islamic eschatology. One such hadith mentions that Dajjal will appear in the region of Khurasan, which historically includes parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Specifically, some narrations indicate that Dajjal will emerge in a place called Isfahan, which is a city in Iran.
One of the hadiths from Sahih Muslim states:
"The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The Dajjal will emerge from a place between Syria and Iraq and will spread mischief right and left. O servants of Allah, adhere to the path of Truth.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on the earth?' He said: 'For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to a year?' He said: 'No, you must make an estimate of the time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how quickly will he walk upon the earth?' Thereupon he said: 'Like a cloud driven by the wind. He will come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they will affirm their faith in him and respond to him.'" (Sahih Muslim)
In another narration, it is mentioned that seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan, wearing Persian shawls, will follow Dajjal.
These hadiths are part of Islamic eschatological beliefs and are interpreted in various ways by scholars and believers.
