Hi wolfgang!
I crossed into iran at bazargan one week ago. No problems, but a lot of army and police on the streets. Several checkpoints but never got checked. Needless to say you should only go by day. But until you get there things will be different, a lot happening there. Just the day I arrived in Dogubayazit now too far away apparently two soldiers were killed. You could hear a lot of helicopters at night also.
I heard it's still possible to go to lake van (info is more than one week old) but I guess it's not very wise to go further south.
Let me know if you need any other info.
Ride safe!
Martin

Hi, Atta,
thank you. The plan is, directly entering Iran without sidesteps.
Regards
