Here goes......

Can't answer all your questions but will try to answer some of them.
Yes there are Iranians living in the DR. I've met one or two when I've been there.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen. You'll need both.
Road from PC to SD is good to excellant and requires about 3 1/2 hrs. driving time. Lots of good places to stop and see along the way. Check the archives for more info on Alto de Chavron, Higuey, Altagracia cathedral, Bayahibe, La Romana, San Pedro,Juan Dolio, Boca Chica. All these places are on the south or south east coast.
Sosua is on the north coast and someone more familiar will have to tell you how far it is to drive. I'm not sure of the route unless you go through Santo Domingo.
Hope this helps.....
