Have you ever been to Iran?

Question

I'm going back there soon, so I was wondering how everyone's experience there was. I am hoping that no one makes a stupid comment on here, but I guess it'll come. ( I am new to this) I want to know what cities you went to and if you would go back.

I visited Iran twice during the time of the Shah.  I went all over the country from Tehran to Mashad, Tabriz, Isfahan, Dezful, Hamadan, Bandar Abas and many other places.  It was a real adventure for a guy just a few years out of college.  I had a great time and I thought the people were just wonderful.  I learned to speak Farsi reasonably well and had many nice visits with the people of Iran.  I am sad for the people that their government has become such a problem for them.  I would love to go back if I could be safe doing so.

My wife's hairdresser is Iranian and goes back to Iran each year to see her family without difficulty.  I am not sure how she does it, but she has been successful.  If you are not connected to the Pahlavi or Esfandiari families you should not have any problems.
