Assuming that your uncle lives in California, he would also have to serve his wife with process in Iran. This is a complex, time consuming process and likely to be costly. I don't recommend that he attempt it himself.

Assuming that he has lived in the state of California for at least 6 months and in the county in which the petition for 90 prior to filing the petition.
California does not have jurisdiction over the property which is not located in the state.
