I watch travel video blogs off and on. I believe what I see over most other sources (BUT there are controlled video sources from inside China now. )
Iran did not seem that bad, compared to what I expected. People seem down to earth, maybe like US in the 1950s.
Here is the series for Iran. NZ guy. Any US (the great Satan) citizen would need a govt approved minder I was told.

10 years ago I went to Iran for a visit and the group I was with ended up having a huge accident in the middle of no where. Every person who passed us by offered us food water and shelter. I had never seen anything like that. The car was totaled, everyone was ok, just had minor injuries. I forget sometime how safe Iran is, and how good the people there are.

I am blown away by the hospitality of all the Iranian people you have encountered on this adventure. Real salt of the earth people. Its a testament to the notion that most people are good at heart. Thank you & travel safe.

Treating the guest and the stranger well is considered one of the greatest virtues in Persian culture. We say, "The guest is the beloved of God." Even if you have just a tiny bit of food to eat, you give it to your guest and skip a meal. I grew up on the north of Tehran, in Niavaran, and my father always brought home Americans and Europeans who were hitchhiking through Iran. Mom would give them a great meal, and they would spend the night in one of the guest rooms. And in the morning, they'd continue on their journey.
