What is a "Khooroos" aircraft?

[barryward12345]

The Twitter world is buzzing about a large "Khooroos" aircraft landing at Tehran airport - supported by 2 MIG29's - and loading large amounts of "something" from a large number of 18 wheelers.

Just trying to find out what kind of aircraft these Iranian Twitters are talking about?

Prolly just a name for a IL-76 airlifter.

From what I can make out - it's an An-225, called Khooroos (Rooster) by the Iranians.
