Rick Steves shines in potentially difficult situations. And he shows the 'shine' of those with whom he visits. I have loved watching his programs for years.
Wonderful video. I enjoyed seeing Iran's beautiful country and people 🇮🇷. Hope one day we can all get along, not just Iran and America but all the nations. God bless from 🇺🇸
This video dates back 15 years and does not reflect the current reality in Iran. The situation in the country has changed significantly since then. Those sharing this clip repeatedly aim to create the impression that life in Iran is favorable, advocating for the West and figures like Trump to engage with the mullahs’ oppressive regime. The individuals promoting this narrative are often aligned with communists, democrats, and globalists. However, the truth is that today, 90 to 95 percent of Iranians are deeply dissatisfied with and resent their government, strongly desiring its overthrow.
Truly fascinating-I’ve already watched it twice! Thank you for this wonderful show. It not only inspired me to want to visit Iran so badly but also deepened my wish for peace and friendship among nations around the world.
Rick's the dude! Thanks for pushing past the stigmas and preconceptions to teach us something new about a place that's otherwise difficult to learn about. It seems like a beautiful and rich culture. Their young population give me hope in this rough world. I would love to travel there one day. Hopefully when the travel restrictions are lifted for my country.
Impossible while we have a Khazarian banking mafia trying to take control of the world, but bearing in mind that just like India, Russia, China and every other one of the 44 countries who signed away the peoples'' souls in 1944, Iran is included in the sell out! The more you know!!
Another amazing video by Rick Steves. Wonderful to see so much of this beautiful country and it's wonderful people, with rich history and cultures. Rick knows how to connect with real people wherever he goes. Peace and respect from the UK 🇬🇧
Great video.!!! Super & quality presentation.!!! Hats off to ‘Rick’ & his crew for making this wonderful film. Pls visit Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 for your next movie.!!!
An unforgettable and powerful moment at 35:10-35:39 "I think the best example for people in the West to understand these matters between Shiites and Sunnis is this example of England and Ireland;"
I would to visit Iran someday. I hope peace will prevail in the region to preserve all these stunning cultural heritage sites. I used to work in Dubai, there's a huge Iranian population in the city, they are very kind and generous.
Spring 2008. Interesting to see the changes. I was there in 1973 and visited the same cities. We saw some nomadic people on the Isfahan Shiraz highway.
As an Iranian , we have a lot of history (Oldest country in the world ) but we ARE NOT Islamic Republic They are not our goverment. they've stolen our country for 45 years and They are destroying our culture and Iran's reputation. our currency have declined to the most worthless world's currency. today, Tehran(our capital) is the dirtiest city in the world just look to our previous goverment (Mohammad Reza Shah) to see Iran's glory era I hope one day we see good old days again
This video is kinda ancient! Iran looks very different now. You can estimate how old this is by the 70 million population mentioned in the description! 92 million people live in Iran right now :) We even had a lot of people leaving Iran since then!
Great shots and tour, the Ancient History of Persia was indeed wonderful and magnificent. The Shah was very proud of it. The Persian people were great. Some of the more recent history and current truths I suppose they were censored out. The current govt of Iran is run by Arabs/ Islamist extremists (not Persians) who over threw the Shah govt. The Shah tried very hard to modernize the country but made a few mistakes in his hast trusting the extremist religious Islamist sects/fanatics was one of them and the govt was over thrown.. During Shahs time Iran was very friendly and close even to Israel and America. Shame about Iranian govt hostility and hatred of Israel today and actually of the govts (not the Persian people) hatred of the US/West.
The history and significance of the old world culture needs to be taught in US schools along with American history and how the new world became the greatest nation on the globe today
EXCELLENT REPORT REPRESENTING CIVILITY, HUMANITY AND EDUCATION. ONE POINT YOU MISSED IT WAS THE ROLL OF BRITISH THAT CAUSED THE CUE (GODETA) SINCE THEY WERE STEALING IRANIAN OIL. IRANIAN LOVE AMERICAN AND HEAT BRITISH 💗💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
@@shahryarnadershahi3372No it is not it is very poor with many difficulties and problems in society and management including water problems etc. Its best t be honest. It does not have to be like the permissiveness of the west but it is very very poor due to the govt giving the bulk the money billions to support terrorists in the world to fight their religious etc wars, instead of looking after the people better.
I am astonished by volume of misinformation or outright lies that have been included in this broadcast. The incorrect narratives about Dr. Mosadegh and false information about Shah is amazing. For a person like Rick Steve I tend to believe either he didn’t want to spend time to dig deep enough to get to the facts or he used resources that were politically biased.
If u survived that.. Hehehe never been there but Cairo is like 10 times worse in traffic.. But hey whom am I to judging.. In that chaos i was stunned all were going every direction just inch or maybe less from each other & nothing happened.. Hehehe just saying.. Consider western heavy traffic.. Nice roads lights rules & on & on & smoothly going & accidents & stressful.. I don't know..
Rick Steves never fails to deliver! ✨ This deep dive into Iran is fascinating and eye-opening! ❤
he is now in Evin Iranian prison hostaged to be exchange for nuclear weopon rights

Watching Rick after a long time....fantastic presentation of modern Iran !!
Let's hope it helps normalizing relations between the two countries.

Beautiful Country Hello Iran
Really great job here. Super uplifting.
Marvelous documentary by Ric, hats off.
Love Iran ❤
Is it your Steves? or is somebody posting the old one. You were there maybe 10+ years ago and I see the same video.
Came here after reading " The stationary shop at Tehran " ❤ loved it!
Thanks for uploading! When was this shot?
at least 15 years ago i think
Mashallah. Good for you. Ignore the international politics and focus on the real people & culture. Kudos.

@@dmdnruf3244 Oops i made a mistake
I was going to reply to another comment but I replied to yours
As a Iranian I thank you Steves to show real face of my country Iran
This is the best Rick Stevens video I have seen. My only problem was when he became offended by murals on their walls.
When was this filmed? I think it is old and looks like it is being reposted.
Great Nation of Iran. Bravo Iran.
As an Iranian , we have a lot of history (Oldest country in the world ) but we ARE NOT Islamic Republic
They are not our goverment. they've stolen our country for 45 years and They are destroying our culture and Iran's reputation.
our currency have declined to the most worthless world's currency.
today, Tehran(our capital) is the dirtiest city in the world
just look to our previous goverment (Mohammad Reza Shah) to see Iran's glory era
I hope one day we see good old days again
Quite an old program,the population is nearly 90 M.

19:36. Was that a handshake between a woman and a man?
Long live the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Proud to be Muslim and Iranian.

The video is old
Such a lovely and great country, can't why the American politicians can say the name correctly nor can be normal to them. I love Iran and its people ❤
It’s about the young. The children of Iran
The history and significance of the old world culture needs to be taught in US schools along with American history and how the new world became the greatest nation on the globe today
Old video that i had seen
It remains a puzzle at all times how citizens of developing countries have tolerated chaotic everyday life...

This is a very old video from 2009 or 2010
Hi rick now days everybody knows how perfect the Shah was and all these mollas lied to us about him
Why dont you talk about the recent atrocities of the regime? Thousands in jails and other thousands dead?
Mydlenie oczu , kocioł z bombą atomową i pułapką na chciwych kapitalistów.
Constantinople, not Istambul at that time
@2:30 some things you don't forget, but they are dead.
MAKE IRAN FREE & MODERN AGAIN!
It’s great the way it is. Greetings from Iranian women living in Iran.
🤝❤️👍
Iran is moden and well developed in every sense now . Don't ever make a superficial judgment about anything .
@@BlueBlue-mm7kn You are only seeing the simplistic surface.Most of the people are very very poor for the most part.

This is a really old video, and a lot has changed over the past decade, so it’s not the best source for up-to-date information.
You made a mistake, sir .iran is three times bigger than France .
Wow, it's amazing to know just how much this video is now outdated. Iran has changed and progressed quite a rapidly since this video was made.
So all of this is from 2009?
@@MSDOGS1976 I gess older
I think not!
❤️🇮🇷
This is an old rebadged video.
Misrepresentation and exploitation of Iran is not allowed.
Horrible historian, Rick stevese
Yes a lot of inaccuracies due to censorship I guess.
You talk too fast.
