Come Visit and Stay Awhile!

From the State Department (travel.state.gov)

Iran is fighting an uphill battle to improve its image as a tourist-friendly country. Officials recently announced plans to open tourist offices in seven countries; Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.

Complicating the country's tourism ambitions (besides their insistence on developing nuclear weapons and wanting to destroy Israel), authorities recently arrested two tourists who allegedly sailed into Iranian waters by mistake when fishing on a vacation in the United Arab Emirates.

The French and German tourists were sentenced to 18 months in prison.
