Dublin is served 6 daily by EI so I don't see why would BA add more flights on the same route.
Yes I think you're right and it's a typo. In the document it also mentions Corendon Airlines (which is Turkish) going to ADB as opposed to ABD.

Given the sanctions and BA not even willing to make Tehran work, it would be amazing if they decided to fly to some small airport in Iran no-one has ever heard of.
