"do I need 3rd party insurance for the bike in Iran?"
Before I was leaving, I learnt that (to my surprise!) Iran is a part of the Green Card system, so most European insurances will cover there. Find out, if your insurance is valid in every Green Card country (I even had a list of all countries in the paper that I got from my insurance company, and Iran was listed).
I crossed through the land border near Dogubayazit (Barzagan?) and they werent interested about any insurance, probably would´ve got through even if I didnt have one. It was not asked by the police while in Iran, either, so I dont really know if they officially require it or not. Sure its better to have one, if you happen to have an accident (and beware, there are crazy drivers in Iran!)

Reason: a part, not apart!
