I have had good experience with the combo of Garlic and rosemary.
I poke holes in the lamb leg and insert Garlic pieces inside. Sometimes I give my roast a little bath in red wine before doing that! then I use Rosemary to top it during roast. You do not want to separate rosemary leafs from branch or spike.Doing so will give you a bitter outcome.
Closest "iranian herb" to rosemary is Marzeh. Haven't tried it on lamb, but I'm guessing may have similar affect.
BTW : If in Tehran, you can get your rosemary free of charge from Namayeshgah bein-al-melali or Park Shahrara
