If you actually go there, you will find out that they will go out of their way to welcome you, but don't take my words for it. Contact SP member "dnhess" who appears on Mt. Damavand's summit log page. I have not communicated with this person and have no idea what he will tell you if you do contact him.
I am not saying that Iran is some type of a paradise. It obviously has a lot of problems but what many in the US think about Iran is completely different than what it really is. Most think it is a vast desert with nothing but sand and camels in it (never mind the fact that Iran is not an Arab country anyway). The true political picture is as different as the true geographical reality. When I came back from my trip, a coworker asked me "...so where you in the middle of the fighting?" I had to reply "Which fighting? Is there a war I do not know anything about?" |
