How can I unlock my iPhone 12?

Hello, I had an old Apple ID for Iran, which was on my iPhone 6 and worked. I bought a iPhone 12 and used this Apple ID on it, but after a week my iPhone 12 was locked. I have all the details to show you what I can do to unlock my phone. Please help.

Since Apple does not do any business in Iran, you could not have had an official Apple ID there. If you bought the current phone from an Apple Store, and you have the receipt with your name on it, you can try going to an Apple Store to see if they will remove the activation lock.
