Re: fiance visa

Liem's right. Nobody can help you without much more information. 221(g) provides that no visa may be issued to someone who is inadmissible. I haven't counted lately, but I'd guess there are at least fifty reasons why someone might be inadmissible. In this case I think you will have to take your sponsoring papers and anything she may have filed to a qualified immigration lawyer for review and analysis. Good luck.

Re: fiance visa

You need to provide more details regarding the denial. She was most likely found to be inadmissible to the US under section 212 of the Act, but under what grounds. The fact that she's from Iran probably doesn't help.
