Ok, just a quick answer to my own question.
I crossed into Iran from Azerbaijan a couple of weeks ago at Bilehsavar.
The borderpost is a bit of a mess ( tons of people waiting on the Azeri side for the gates to open at 9 a.m and a huge terminal being built on the Iranian side ) but otherwise OK. Both sides scan your luggage. The Iranians were pretty cool save for a plainclothes security official who called me back once my passport had been stamped in and grilled me for an hour and took a close look at my passport chockfull of stamps and visas. You can change money at a pretty good rate on the Iranian side or, going the other way, at the banks in Bilesavar, Azerbaijan, 20 ks down the road.
Levelo.
