I've only been there once, about 52 years ago. It was still under the Shah. I loved the city, thought the Persians were some of the most beautiful people I had ever seen, adored the sight of the mountains on the other side of the sea there. Good luck to them. Open the borders, stop sanctions but try to persuade them to take a more tolerant attitude towards sexuality.
