I very much doubt Zibanejad, Rahimi and Taherzadeh join. The first two have played for Sweden's national team and the last one played for Turkey's national team. So if IIHF has similar rules like FIFA then these guys will be a big loss for Iran.

At the moment best two who can join should they accept the invitation will be Rhett Rakhshani who currently plays in Sweden and Arian Ali-Zade who is with Dinamo St Petersburg.

Nope they don't

They do have 3 Ice Rinks for Ice Skating: Aramis in Tehran, Padide in Shandiz/Mashhad, one more in Kish Island.
They also have one international standard Inline Hockey complex in Tabriz which they can turn into Ice Hockey, they also have Enghelab Inline Hockey venue as well should they decide to turn into Ice Hockey

Back in the 1970s even though Iran did not have Ice Hockey national team and league, however there was an Ice Rink called "Ice Palace" where people played Ice Hockey as a recreation. see the begining of the video until 1:16 minute is about an Ice Rink venue which no longer exists, called "Ghasr-e Yakh or Ice Palace" address was Pahlavi Street before Vanak Square in Tehran.
