Very roughly accurate within maybe half a SD. These types of national level tests have very different methodologies so you can't directly compare them with a great deal of confidence in resolution.

Why do you think Iran is so high in this?

It's one of the dozens of financially motivated sites taking people's money for inflated IQ scores with IQ tests that have no clinical or research basis. The financial motivation means you can't trust a thing you see on the site. Those numbers could be completely manufactured based on already published country numbers. When I see "This study is based from 1,691,740 people around the world who took the same test on this website," I have no idea whether that's the truth or simply the well-known marketing tactic using social proof to boost credibility ("wow, lots of people are taking this test, must be legit").

This test is just the same.I checked this site by taking a test with the same answers from different IPs. And the results were the same everywhere.

Only academics have unfettered access to the outside internet.

I would expect the same answers to yield the same result. If it were otherwise, the scam would be completely visible.
An inflated IQ score doesn't mean an inconsistent IQ score. It just means that you get a significantly higher score than you'd get on a reputable IQ test in a psychologist's office. Some of these online commercial sites are known to inflate scores so that people feel better about their purchase and then share the site with others.

but the iq on the site is not very different from the values obtained by psychologists. I’ll say more, in many developed countries the IQ is even lower on this site than in studies

IQ are useless as they dont have any real standard that is tested by many people.
What you want instead is something like PISA scores and then chart the differences between countries.

If I wanted to make $$$ from an IQ-test site and felt the need to 'prove' my site's reliability, I could design a page just like that by looking up already established country averages, tweaking them a bit, and then throwing in a whole bunch of fake participant numbers and results.

The IQ test on it's own is probably fine.
The nationwide results are not representative for obvious reasons. That being, self-selection bias + the added filter of who has access to the internet in these countries. Iran with 106 or Sri Lanka with a 102 is a clear example of this
