Looks like US citizen travel to Iran is unfortunately kinda complex and constrained. I’d totally go to see the salt mountains and monuments and stuff if it was as easy as Europe.

It’s funny how inaccessible Iran is today. I imagine until the revolution it was basically open.

Entire generations’ sense of the world is shaped by shifting patterns of global travel accessibility. Especially for me because the older I get the less willing I am to jump through visa hoops to travel. When I was younger I was more willing.

Countries I first traveled to after getting a US passport that I likely wouldn’t have otherwise if I’d had to get a visa on an Indian passport… Chile, Colombia, Panama, Thailand, Korea, Sweden, UK

I backpacked Western Europe on schengan as a grad student in 1998. But skipped UK at the time, because extra visa. Schengan is a very nice deal. Like 26 countries for 1 visa. Road plus rail makes it even better.

It’s now only the 7th most powerful. Japan and Singapore are 1 and 2 google.com/amp/s/www.cnn.

It takes a couple of international trips, money and time to get visa to come to the US for Iranians.
It was a LOT easier for a brief few years post iran-deal.
It is really a shame!
