Purification
Before prayers, a muslim is to perform 'wudu' (Arabic for ablution). This is to physically, and perhaps spiritually cleanse the self of impurities. After the muslim is done releasing his "waste", the region is cleansed and also is clothing that may have been soiled. Other parts of the body must be cleansed before prayer (i.e. ears, nostral, mouth, feet, etc.).

Urinal
I've never been to Iran, but as a Shia Muslim, I can guess. The shower is probably kept because you're not supposed to pray (or do many other religious activities) without cleansing yourself. That means you cannot have any urine on you. So you're supposed to cleanse yourself with water even after you urinate.

Over the urinal is there for hygiene purposes... hmmm, how to say this... so you don't have to, you know, shake it.
