Iran why...

Went for two weeks in 2017. Got security advice from work, which said fine to go but don’t lie to border security, police etc because you have no reason to. Was with a touring company entire time aside from the odd ‘free day’.
Would obviously not go now, since then the whole hostage diplomacy thing has become full swing…because it works. Popped into Russia for a day but same thing, wouldn’t set foot for no money.
Still annoys me work send the odd high level American global manager to HK for no proper reason and if some generic Samsung burner phone is going to protect them.

To be fair the small number of Iranians I've met in person have been hospitable and fun loving people, good to hang out with - pretty consistent with the video. Worked with a small number and there was a Iranian guy (living in Michigan) who was in the Quake 3 clan I played for.

I met some lovely people there that completely changed my perception following them being absolutely destroyed economically and politically by Sadam Hussein.
Some of the landscape is amazing (especially towards the Kurdish part ) but the biggest thing is the people. I just found them absolutely fantastic, warm, welcoming cultured, interesting, wnd interested in other people.
the reason why I have been there is because my sister works out there. I wouldn't have thought about it otherwise.

Not that Iranian people can't be hospitable, but it seeming like every single night. Ofcourse it could be the highlights
