Hi, I think we have similar interests in travel (80 countries, many visits to Iran!).
I lead tours in Iran, you may find this interesting: at the end of each tour, I warn my guests that when they return to their own countries, a large proportion of their friends/families just won't believe any of their Iran stories.
Personally, it took my mother several years to believe me that Iran was safe for tourists. Each time I returned, she would say something like "well, you were lucky because I heard on the news that Iran was dangerous". People still don't believe me, and I've been coming and going to Iran for about 8 years.
Iran does really attract the best tourists: people with a sense of adventure, no crippling fear of the unknown, and a love of humanity.
