The People of Iran. Club member Mansour Ravassipour described his departure from Iran to live in the United States and a recent one month visit he made to Tehran. Mansour came to the US in 1963. He has dual citizenship so can travel back and forth with little risk of being rejected or retained.
Tehran is a city of 12 million people. It is quite polluted and travel across the city can take half a day. Mansour reports the government is heavily focused on mandatory religious obligations and in his opinion uses this to subdue the people.
Mansour has family in Iran and enjoys seeing them and meeting the people of Iran even if he disagrees with its government practices. He is hoping for a future trip but no date yet.
