There isn't much to tell, except that someone whose IP belongs in the range 5.121.191.0 - 5.121.191.255, owned by the ISP Irancell tried to access your account. Is it a real "hijacker"? Presumably yes. Is it guaranteed for sure that 'hijacker' is from Iran? That's hard to say because IP address spoofing is trivial.

I'd definitely ask you to change your password
