    Dear Rick Steves,
    My 8 year old half-Persian identical twin girls (born in the U.S. and never been to Iran) BEG to watch this episode of yours over and over. We’ve seen it more times than i can count. They keep asking “when can we visit Iran?!” My heart aches. Because as much as i yearn to go (i haven’t been back since i was 7), i know it can’t be anytime soon. And so we live vicariously through this video of yours, Rick Steves. Thank you for showing the world who the Iranian people truly are. Iranians love you.

      As one woman said, "Governments have war with each other because they benefit, but there is no war between the people."
      But there exist immutable geopolitical realities. Iran's government is hardly innocent, but it is the House of Saud that facilitates the intervention of the US in the region, as well as being armed by the military industrial complex of America with arms used on civilians in Yemen.

      It’s Iran not Persia. Altough Persia is what we call the region in Latin languages, and what Greeks, and this Romans called them, Persia is a western term.
      The kingdom of Persia was a western puppet, named with a western not local term. Iran is the what it is called in Farsi, and the country is called that not in the western term (which again was imposed from the west).
      I still use Persia for the region (as an Italian) because that is what we have been calling it for thousands of year, however the country is Iran not Persia. Just like we call the empire Parthia not Persia (1st century. Persia was another empire).
      The people are all, and I call all Persians, but not the country. They chose Iran, we use Iran. 😅🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t know why had so much to say about the topic.

      Any country that America do not gain economically is a target for war. Iran, Iraq, Syria and Venezuela. All these countries sell their oil internationally but have restrictions on American businesses. America wants world power and dominance and that's why they sanctions countries that do not bend to their will. If wasn't for Putin America would have invaded Venezuela already. It's sad but it's the new war strategy.

The people were so friendly, and want to live in peace, and like us don’t always agree with their government. This was very enlightening.

It's refreshing to see an objective, respectful documentary such as this, which gives a more human look at the largely misunderstood country of Iran. I was just as surprised as Rick to see that many Iranians actually welcome Americans! It just proves that the government does NOT represent the people.

      I was watching a documentary on German red light area and then Iran's temporary marriage law, I was surprised how come is it "freedom" in the West and "oppression" in Iran while both are doing the same with little variation that Irani law says if a man makes a woman pregnant, he will be responsible for the child and keeps paying woman until the child becomes adult. May be that's freedom in the West that in red light area if you pregnant a woman, you get carried away.
