I travelled through Iran in 1973. A beautiful country with beautiful people. The only negative was the universal fear of the secret police, courtesy of the dictatorial Shah (brought to power in 1954 through US orchestrated coup).
Yes. My experience exactly. And when the people looked to help in the Revolution look what they got. Iran had an important role in the world. Sanctions had such a debilitating and isolating effect.
John, yes. I travelled through Iran twice in 1972, to and from India and Nepal in the Hippie years. Many young Irani approached me, out of desperation because of the Shah, who was put into power by the UK and the USA. One student brought me to his home and I stayed overnight. His mother cooked for us. All the Irani people I've ever met have been fine, honorable, and friendly people. Civilized. Not like the vast majority of the Jews I know. Jews just don't get it, and more of the world is figuring that out. It's the tribal mindset that leads them astray. They regard their Jewishness as more important than their humanity.
