Iran is weird beyond belief. I've known many Iranians,
and they were all normal and completely westernized.

Yes. Same here, and many of my good friends are Iranian. That said, they also told me that Iranians are very competitive and 'have to be the best'. I don't know how that plays out in an Islamic theocratic society, but there have to be enough people there backing the Mullahs or we wouldn't be dealing with Iran as an exporter of terrorism.

The folks I've met prefer to be called Persians. They hate the Mullahs and those that support them. One even thanked me for allowing him to experience the freedom and fun of the US.

I’ve known a few too, but they got out before the shah fell. So they were already pretty well westernized.

All those I have ever met identified as PERSIANS. They HATED the muslims and the regime.
