The BBC article spelled the dam's name wrong in their interactive image. It's Latyan Dam if anyone else wanted to look up more on it.

Edit: TIL there can be different translations/spellings of Persian to English

Well, the actual spelling is لتيان, so it comes down to how you choose to romanize it.
I had no idea Romanization of Perian was a thing. Thanks for sharing!
