They can see your aircraft across from Foruzan field but none of them are about to venture over an international boundary without a clearance so collision avoidance is not an issue there. If it were solid Iranian crews they might fly west thinking they were going east but these aircraft have foreign captains.
Yep, we are ADA foreign pilots, one Brit, two South American, Guyana and Peru, currently in Kharg. Call us anytime. We monitor 129.0 in the Furuzan and Abuzar fields and 121.5 enroute. Peruvian does not speak much English, but it would be nice to speak to someone on the other side who speaks English.
Cheers
