Signal impersonation risk?
Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.

Any info on how well the Session messenger would work in Iran?

Help people in Iran reconnect to Signal – a request to our community
I suggest they use Session Private Messenger instead. To judge by the activity in the public "Session" group in the client today, Iranians are not having any trouble with connectivity. That might be because Session uses a decentralized network.

Most secure messaging app | Signal | why only signal??
I will go more with solutions using the Matrix (chat network protocol) or Tox (p2p chat, nice for 1 to 1).

Not entirely true, apps like Signal, Element, Tox, and some other messaging apps are free and private. Linux distributions (and BSD) such as TAILS OS, Solus and a few hundred others are also free and private. You can also choose to make basic changes like going through your accounts changing all the passwords, setting up 2FA, and locking down the settings every once in a while to increase privacy and security, all for free. Not having a smartphone or phone at all is also really private and can even save you money.
