If so, then getting back into UK is easiest of your problems. you will not get any benefits for the first 3 months after returning.
So far as being homeless i'm afraid no council will help as you are single and all I can suggest is to contact someone like the Salvation Army when you arrive. They may be able to help with a bed for a few nights whilst you try and get a job.
With a few more details of your circumstances, someone may be able to offer better advice.
Sorry not to be of much help.

It will be easier to advise you if you give some information about yourself. Age, gender, any children, nationality, reason for returning.

How old are you? If you are a young person contact the YMCA as they help the homeless also there is free health care for the homeless. Look for charities that give free food for the homeless- once you can find work I'm sure you will get back on your feet.

OK.

If you lived in the UK from the age of 7 to 22, then there must be some people you know. Don't be shy about approaching them for help.

You could also seek help from the Iranian community in Britain. There is the Iranian Association which might be able to assist. Also, I don't know whether you were a practising moslem in the UK, but how about contacting your local mosque?

You should not experience any difficulty getting NHS treatment. If you were tortured in prison, tell your GP that and seek counselling. But you may have to wait several months for other help from the state, so you must use other agencies.

Pulaski is right, that immigration may have some questions for you, coming back from Iran. If possible, provide some evidence that you were in prison for the two years.
