The thief must have also faced the same Activation Lock that your friend is facing at present. Somehow the thief was able to get the right password to the Apple ID and removed the Activation Lock. Either that, or the stolen iPhone was removed from the Apple ID device list.


Regardless, now your friend is facing the Activation Lock and it must be removed with the right password. Your friend also does not have access to Apple Support in Iran. It is a tough situation.


I am not sure if the following is going to work from Iran, however, If you need help removing Activation Lock and have proof of purchase documentation, you can start an Activation Lock support request.
