I completely agree with Capt. Ecureuil on this, having done a couple of weeks work for Mahan Air in Tehran a while back we where treated very well by the locals.
As for spares, I can't see it being a problem, nothing is being sold or staying in the country so all that should be required is a bit of paperwork stating that the parts/tools etc. are for temporary import/export only, normally a Carnet ATA should do the job.
