Iran Dialing Notes
When calling within Iran, dial the area code with the leading '0' (e.g., 021 for Tehran). When calling from abroad, omit the '0' and dial +98 followed by the area code and 8-digit local number. Mobile numbers in Iran typically start with 9 (e.g., 0912 123 4567) - dial internationally as +98 912 123 4567.
