A:

If these are 220V lights, it sounds like the thing to do is to plug them into a standard Iranian AC power outlet. 1.5 V batteries will not work with them. 

You should know that these halogen lights are not nearly as efficient as LED lights. If you can replace them with LEDs you'll only use about 1/4 as much electrical energy.
