Looks like they got Iraan, TX correct

Now that‘s an explanation! They never heard of Iran as a country and thought it was a random-ass city. And since they didn’t know where it was, they guessed the center of the US!

Iraan, TX is a real place, though it's pronounced "Ira-Ann."

Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.

"We're Number 2!"
