Not wrong there. I think the term Fascism is often wielded a bit loosely to simply mean "authoritarian" but I'd absolutely say nations like Israel and Iran qualify.
I think the only real element that makes Iran somewhat unique is that it is a religion which controls the government, rather than a government which controls the religion, but the end result is strikingly similar. The term "Islamofascist" has been used to describe its particular brand of authoritarianism and characterize the ways in which it distinguishes itself from western fascism/Christofascism.
I was initially thinking Saudi-Arabia but then I figured Iran is another and most of those ex British colonial oil states aren't much better.
