      If you are going to cover the hostage crisis you should have started with 1953 coup wich American embassy was used to overthrow the democratically elected government of iran for oil and the hostage crisis was to stop the same thing happening again.

      Media today is the face of war. The war powers will see to it that this video don't get enough views to ruin their plans. You might be able to play a small part in delaying, or preventing a war if you can get enough high subscriber count youtubers to share or link this video and similar content. It might not be enough, but nobody wins in a war. It seems that the US owes the Iranians an apology that they will accept... And both sides owe each other a lot more patience, and understanding. And that that will be the only win-win. The world has changed so much, it's heart breaking that one country can be so arrogant and incredible that another can be so principled. Thank you for making this video. People have a right to self determination and to figure out their own stuff. If you want to live in the "West", move to a "Western" country.

    If you want a second opinion I have been there this year. It's a place where I've never imagined I will go to and, to tell the truth, I didn't know what to expect. I was a bit afraid for all the things said on the news but confident, at the same time, after hearing about other travelers experiences. When I finally got there, I found a truly safe place, full of art, traditions, tasty food, beautiful cities, amazing deserts, stunning oasis, incredible islands and the best part was the kindness and hospitality of the people, at a level that I've never experienced before. I couldn't understand all the wrong things said about this country.
    If any of you ever has the chance to go, please don't hesitate. I was a Latin girl traveling there alone and I am happy and thankful to have taken the decision to go, because of the amazing people I met and also because no country has surprised me in a positive way as much as Iran did. =)
    Thank you Jacob for doing such a great video. Now I want to meet Hasan. I actually cried watching it and remembering how nice Iran was and how wrong we see it from outside. You are the best!

      I've always considered myself very bad in social media but, after Iran, I realized I was visiting unusual and missundersrood places, so I thought maybe could help people change their minds by sharing. Only then, I decided to open an Instagram (for the first time) and a website to share information about places that are not the most usual. I am starting and you have been one of my biggest inspirations. THANK YOU SO MUCH JACOB! From my heart. I am not the best at it but I hope to do a little bit helping to eliminate preconceptions this way. 🙂

    as an iranian i feel like i need to clear some things out
    1. you were treated with hospitality because its tradition to treat guests as you would your own family
    2. most ppl are muslims in name and dont practice it with the vigor you'd expect
    3. 70% of the population is under 30 years old, born after the revolution and mostly have liberal tendencies and often look for a way around the theocratic sharia laws
    4.everyone is welcome here
    dont let your prejudice get the better of you, i myself work as a part time connseuir at IranMall
    i meet tourists all day long telling me how much they love it here
    and lastly, iran is safe, only unsafe news was an isis attack in 2017 ( first in a decade )
    we have very low crime rates and no guns ( actually safer than u.s and u.k in the global safety index )
    if you're unsure about comming here, dont be

I hope many people get to watch this and know Iranians are the most welcoming, hospitable people. We are not terrorist and we hate war and we are under so much pressure because of sanctions. It's a good thing for tourists though, It's ridiculously cheap to travel here . Let's hope for better days, days we can share love and peace everywhere in the world.

I've been there twice and after my first trip, I even started learning Persian (which I do speak a little by now). I'm just so in love with their culture and everything. the most striking thing as a traveler who steps foot for the first time in Iran is the hospitability of people, they're so UNBELIEVEBALY kind and welcoming. your video made me try to book a ticket to there asap. good luck.

    The thing that relaxed me most was that there were no stray dogs loitering around these historical monuments. As in India everywhere you visit really are filled with stray dogs, barking and even attacking sometimes. It's truly relaxing to see no dogs in those places and I felt it be quite a safe place.

It's a little weird watching it in old-school style with the pocket camera, but it's a cool throwback to the days of your trips to Oman, Indonesia, and of course the two Koreas. I'm really fascinated by what goes on in Iran, especially since I am American, and I know that U.S.-Iranian relations aren't the strongest at this point. But nonetheless, I always appreciate it when you take the time to carefully document and explain why things are the way they are in certain places around the world. You're very knowledgable and respectful and it's always good to see you reach out, explore different horizons, and try to connect with one another in order to make the world a much more beautiful place.

    The people of Iran are among the best ambassadors for their country on the planet. Very friendly and helpful to foreigners. The country has many beautiful areas too. It's always governments that get in the way.

    Hi Jacob, I'm an Iranian living in Toronto, Canada. Watching your 2 videos about Iran had a deeply pleasant feeling for me. You made me miss my country and see it from a non-Iranian perspective and appreciate the beautiful things about it and see it from a different angle. Thank you so much for that.
    And what a good soul you are. Watching these videos made me think how it would feel to travel the world with a nice positive friend like you who is able to see and appreciate joy in life. Hats off to you my friend! :)

    Thanks for this video! Really Iran is now on my bucket list!!! I watched a lot of motorcycles videos about travel through Iran an literally all of them said the same that the people over there are just amazing. You really good explained history and information around your travel there. So really I can say it was the best travel video so far I saw on CZcams. Great stuff and I‘m a fan of you. I came a cross you when I saw your motorcycle trip into Switzerland and now I will check your other videos. Let me know when your on the road again in Switzerland or in the surroundings. Cheers and greetings of Switzerland 🇨🇭
