Upon further research, it turns out that the Iran Air griffin is actually a mythological Huma (or Homa) bird (Huma Bird), so I figure that must be what you're going for.
Well, I learned something today!
The earlier ('70s) versions of the huma logo reminded me of the AF flying sea horse logo of the same ear for whatever reason. Not that they really loo alike.
