So what other (better?), options are for Europeans? Maybe there is a special UK insurer? Or one from another country? I would like a good value as well.
What sort of insurance do you want: basic travel (inc. delay), medical (inc. emergency evac)? That said, with the current international sanctions against Teheran, you're going to have a very hard time finding any company willing to underwrite a policy for you.
