Hello,
From what I understood, having to have a guide for Iran depends from the country you're from. Not 100% sure though.
The agency through which I took my visas for Iran also told me that I needed a guide for Iran. I didn't agree and went with it and it was not required or even mentioned at the border in Mirjaveh. I'm from Switzerland by the way.
I have heard from other travelers that it's getting harder to actually get a visa for Iran now, because of the situation there of course. Not sure if it's true or not and we've been hearing stuff like that for a few years I believe.
