I was all set to going and work out there in the late 70s but alas the Islamic revolution ended links with our factory in Iran when everything western became a no no out there, one of my mates was out there for 18 months though and married an Iranian girl who was a stunning looking woman,he did manage to get her out in time but alas her parents who were both doctors didn't make it and she's been unable to make contact since. I'd say if you fancy going its always good to see other Countries and cultures but i'd be very careful what I said and did myself be sure to post if you return safe like.
There must be a strange reason why she can't contact them?
My wife's family come over when Visas allow and they speak often via social media and Skype.
And my wife's family were very prominent pre- revolution with close links to the Shah. Some that did not got out were tortured etc..for information. But things are certainly different now.
