There is a R1 (a or b not sure) member currently pending in the R-Arab project
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/r-arabia/default.aspx?section=yresults whose origin would be western coast of Iran if the tribal data is correct.
See if someone can predict his haplotype
13 25 14 10 12-12 12 12 11 13 14 31 17
9-9 11 11 25 15 19 30 12-12-12-12-15-16 11 11
19-21 15 16 16 16 34-36 12 11 11 8
15-16 8 11 10 8 12 11 12 22-22 15 11
12 13 14 9 13 23 21 14 12 11 13 10 11
12 12
My response:
This is probably a real R1*, and doesn't mean anything about the expansion of R1a* or R1b*, being so ancient and diffused all over Eurasia and also Africa.
I have written a lot about R1a* in Western Europe, and probably the Klyosov's theory that put it in the Balkans owes something to it. Also if the Paper of Pichler was wrong in finding R1a* in the Rhaetian Region, they were at least R1a1*, not found in that percentage elsewhere, and also this is in favour of the origin of R1a* and R1b* in the Alps.

Well no R1* has been found to date, at least none of the samples publicly available (A_Wode)

M8009 Almadani United Arab Emirates R1
13 25 14 10 12-12 12 12 11 13 14 31 17 9-9 11 11 25 15 19 30 12-12-12-12-15-16 11 11 19-21 15 16 16 16 34-36 12 11 11 8 15-16 8 11 10 8 12 11 12 22-22 15 11 12 13 14 9 13 23 21 14 12 11 13 10 11 12 12
These are the 22 slowest markers out of 67 markers of Klyosov:
12 12 14 11 11 11 11 8 15 16 8 10 8 12 11 12 13 9 12 11 11 12
And these are the same values I had for R1*:
12 12 13 11 11 11 11 8 15 16 8 10 8 12 10 12 12 8 11 11 11 12
It could be also R* (or R1* is more ancient than it is thought). A separation of more than 20,000 years.
There is also the possibility that the R* which generated R1* wasn’t the same which generated R2* and that some new SNPs should be found.

My response:
It seems that many R* were found by Rocca et alii in 1KGP: NA20895, NA20887, NA20903, NA21105 (Gujaratis, India). We should ask Rocca.
