Don’t give me the hikers’ story, or the political crapola.

I am thinking about going SCUBA diving in Iran in addition to some sight seeing.

Is it safe for an American to travel there? Do the people hate Americans? Will I be beheaded or hanged? Serious answers please.

Every one could travel to Iran and here is safe.
Many of Americans scientists traveled so far and nobody have a problem!
Absolutely safe! Be sure! WITH VISA!!!
