I've been to most of these places, and they are astonishing, the people, the trade, the goods you can by from the bazaar, the ancient history, the food, the mountains, it's insane.
North of Tehran you'll get some of the best ski resorts in the world while in the south you'll get the ancient ruins of Persepolis and in the north west you'll see stunning cities like Tabriz.
Go and visit now, it will be your best vacation in a life time, take your love ones, traveling is easy. Sure I have an Iranian passport but getting a visa there is a fly.
Their government leaders have to stop the Demonic chant "Death to America" for anyone to believe they are anything but Demonic possessed.
Actually this is where I start to lose respect for a chunk of the population - you see these people in the streets (and when I say "people" in fact they are virtually all men) shouting the same. Its not just "official policy." Its quite interesting that such childish behavior exists among such a large group of adult men. Its clownish behavior that people would roll their eyes to in most developed countries. "Death to {insert country here}." Just juvenile.
Nevertheless, this is only a minority group there.
I don’t like that Iran violates human rights! All races, women’s rights, lgbt rights, all religions, and even those having no religion, should all be protected. Until Iran does this, I will never visit that country.
I just read an article about a man who had traveled to 122 countries on cargo ships. His top 3 countries in the world are Greenland, Cuba and Iran.
Face it, with the lack of knowledge and news from Iran, almost everything we hear about Iran, comes via the CIA, and they have been notorious for vilifying other countries to get the American public on board, in case America chooses to kill the citizens of those countries at some point. Many people endlessly discuss foreign countries although they have no first hand knowledge and everything is just regurgitating what they have been fed.
Yes, Iran actually is a fairly safe country for Americans to travel to. To qualify that though - its certainly more comfortable for American males than single females (as you know) and can be actually unsafe for Americans with previous Iranian nationality or of Iranian origin if they speak their mind and its not what the authorities permit them to think. Also not safe for Persian Jews who formerly lived in Iran until 1979 and were then ethnically cleansed by the first round of the current regime.
Thanks. This is important info for members of the groups you mention to have.
