Hi mohammad,

I think you may have captured a satellite rather than a meteor. Using Starry Night Pro for the location, date and time you provided, it shows the rocket body SL-16 R/B matching that position and azimuth.

I went back into my astro software to double-check and think my previous guess might be incorrect simply due to a time discrepancy I encountered within the program when changing locations from the US to Iran. That being said though, it may not be the aforementioned rocket body but its appearance in the 15 second exposure looks much more consistent with a satellite rather than a meteor.
