"In Iran they only offer benzin"
In the middle east, benzine = petrol. It may be leaded in Iran but that's probably all you'll find so you don't have a lot of choice. A lot of petrol stations sell small bottles of additives for vehicles requiring unleaded fuel. I don't know if they help but my bike survived Iranian fuel.

Stephano, it should be the other way round: old engines need additives to be able to use unleaded. That's the theory, anyway.
