If i was in a American registered business jet,leaving Moscow for oh,"Dubai"The shortest route would be a direct flight over Iran,does this happen in real life?Can you get permission to fly over?Or would it be better to fly southwest over Turkey across Saudi Arabia.

I would imagine that the jet would usually take the alternate route over Turkey and the others, due to the political situation between the US and Iran, although I obviously can't confirm this.
This should probably be moved to the "real aviation" forum as well.

Probably far easier to get routed through the Ukraine, Turkey and (the mainly US ATC in) Iraq, then down the airways of the Arabian gulf.

Who knows, they may still remember the accidental shootdown of an Iranian airliner by a US Navy cruiser 20 some odd years ago.

"Accidental" is probably the wrong word (you can't accidentally launch a SAM Wink

). "Misidentification of a potential target" probably is a more accurate description.
