Is that so? Considering how impossible it is to get a tourist visa for Americans, seems that fixing THAT problem would increase the number of visitors. I have friends in Iran, and have been trying to visit them for a while, but was flat out told that as an American citizen, I need an porfessional invitation from a business, NOT from a private person.

So, I guess I am out of luck. Too bad, because I was planning to get a nose job while in Teheran.
