It looks to me like the planes were probably flying the PAROT 2H with a right turn after takeoff to intercept the IKA 305 degree radial outbound to PAROT intersection.

You can find the transition altitude, 9000 feet, at the top of the SID chart. It's been a long time since I've flown out of Tehran but many places in the Middle East don't have the 250 knots below 10000 feet speed restriction, or, if they do, you can request 'high speed' and it will be waived.
