Both Turkey and Iran are among the friendlier and safer countries of this planet IMHO, with very good roads and rewarding traveling.
The only roads you may want to avoid are Van via Hakkari to Cizre and Van via Yüksekova to Urmia (Iran), because of the ongoing Turkish-Kurdish problems.
I haven't been east of Teheran, so I cannot judge the eastern Iranian border territories.
Again, my suggestion would be to integrate part of the Lower Caucasus into a Turkey - Iran overland trip. Either Georgia - Armenia - Iran or Naxcivan - Iran.
