Is Police Certificates required from Iran ?

[AmirNL 1]

I am wondering, is it optional or is it a must ? According to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/IranIslamicRepublicof.html
Does anyone have experience with it ? I am afraid if I do not provide it my case will be extended and delayed. 
Despite what official website says. It says literally: " Police records are not required for immigrant visa applicants". 
I just read on this forums that they ask for it when you are filling certain from and when you need to mail civil documents.

Comments:  Available but unreliable.  Police records are not required for immigrant visa applicants because posts cannot verify them.  Clean record certificates can be obtained in Iran or from Iranian Embassies and Consulates, and the physical appearance of the certificate changes significantly depending on which authority issued it.

Comments: Available but unreliable. Court and prison documents are not required because posts cannot verify them. 

Thank you so much,

It is not required, the officers at the embassy know this about certificates from Iran and other countries where they are not attainable - my husband (from Iran) has never been asked to produce one throughout our process. He did have to produce one, however, from the country in Europe he lived in prior to coming to the US.

great. I got it. Can I ask you something ?
I think, I am in the similar situation as your husband.
Can you remember if he has been asked for military record as well or not? 
I am not an Iranian anymore for about 10 years. I left my country when I aged 20 years without serving in military and I have been denied recently on B2 visa due to military record. 
I am wondering having military record is a requirement for immigrant visa or not? 

Thank you so much
