Lots of people from USA are visiting Iran. We travel to Shiraz regularly and even during the previous presidency we have witnessed planes full of Americans travelling there. It was quite hopeful for all as it demonstrated USA is not a narrow minded bunch… quite the opposite!

Is that an Iranian sanction on the USA, or US law (hoping to make it easier to spot unwanted behaviour or something)?
