I am gonna refer to the movie Argo here which was based in Iranian revolution in 1979. In the final moments of the movie during the tickets are bought only during the last moment (I understand the last moment ticket purchase was dramatized for the movie). But was it possible to book a ticket for flight from Iran from United States so quick without the internet?

Commercial air travel was invented after the telephone.
In the old days, you bought tickets at the airport, or through travel agents. Either way, the person you bought the ticket from would need to phone the central booking service for the airline, so that they could ensure there were enough tickets available.
