You need 180 Eskimos To Certify your degree is valid...

Nah, it refers to ECTS - it's a study credit accumulation system here in the EU... loosely speaking it means that you're expected to hold a three-year Bachelor's degree, or equivalent. One academic year is thought of consisting of a 60 ECTS credit workload, so that's the reason... 3 x 60 = 180 ECTS credits.

basically you need to have an explanation from the university in Iran of how one "unit" is made up (how many hours etc.) and then submit for an evaluation of what thet is in ECTS credits... we had an old system of "study weeks" that isn't quite 1:1 comparable. usually though the universities have made transfer scales ready.

i believe your case is not the first of its kind. just contact via email (or phone) to the university. as been stated, basically 3-year (sometimes 4-year) bachelor should be understandable. if you have lesser years bachelor, then you should be talking about those units/credits.
