Things to Love about Iran
When you listen to western media you tend to believe that the people of Iran are monsters. Why?
Not only the tabloids are full of stereotypes, hate-mongering and misleading or downright fake news.
Never mind that the US have probably the largest arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. Iran gets depicted as a nuclear threat all the time.
Even educated and so called open minded people in the western hemisphere believe that crap. I do not and I condemn any plans of waging war against Iran.
Asking Iranians about Iran
I do not want to talk about politics though! Instead I asked the Iranian people visiting my blog to tell me what they love most about Iran!
Why do Iranians visit my blog in the first place? Well, some of my articles have been translated into Persian and spread on Iranian social media.
As a true cosmopolitan I already had written down the first three things I love about Iran myself. The others have been crowdsourced from the Iranian people.
Good Things about Iran
OK, long story short: what are the actual things to love about Iran? I haven’t visited the country yet but judged from the list below it’s worth traveling to.
The Art and Design
Iran is famous for some of its artists. Even before I had written this post here I knew Reza Abedini, a fantastic artist creating beautiful typography posters.
You can visit his Instagram profile for more current works. He’s not the only one. There are plenty of others who create art and design works.
The Ancient History
Apparently Iran is where our civilization has started. They had the first “charter of human rights” more than 2500 years ago. Yes, that’s even before Christ was born.
It’s called the Cyrus Cylinder and is kept in London so you can view it without going to Iran.
Chess has been invented in Persia as well among many other things you take for granted these days.
There are plenty of UNESCO world heritage sites in Iran as of now.
It’s about time to visit them. We never know how long they will remain intact. President Trump has threatened to destroy them.
The Mystic Sufi Tradition
For those who are aware of Zen Buddhism the Sufi mysticism – that originated in the region Iran is now part of – is also an inspiration.
While Zen focuses on sitting meditation the Sufi tradition is rather about dancing.
So called dervishes dance in circles until they reach a higher state of mind where thought disappears. Iranian Sufism is part of Islam.
Poetry and Literature
People in the West are likely to know Rumi – the ancient Sufi poet – you probably have seen quotes attributed to him on the Web.
Iranians rather recommend the writings by Molavi. I had to admit I haven’t read Molavi yet until I realized that it’s just another nickname of Rumi. He has plenty of those.
Iranian Food
As I’m no expert on Iranian cuisine I have to link out when it comes to Persian specialties:
- Persian Food Primer: 10 Essential Iranian Dishes
- 15 Traditional Iranian Foods That Will Blow Your Mind
- 16 Dishes That Reveal the Pleasures of Persian Food
Have you been to Iran? What is your favorite Iranian food? Tell us in the comment section!
Nature
The flora and fauna of Iran is simply beautiful. Just view some of the photos. I can’t explain it.
The landscape, especially mountains is also astounding. The Mount Damavand is one of the highest and most exceptional mountains in the world.
Iranians
Apparently Iranians themselves are one of the “things” to love about Iran. The people of Iran describe themselves as
- faithful
- peace-loving
- hospitable
- generous
In school I had a physics teacher I played Chess with. He was a very good player and I think I haven’t won even once. I also liked his dry type of humor.
I also have a neighbor from Iran who is very friendly and is also a dog owner like me. She does not wear a hijab (burka) though so that’s maybe why she had to leave Iran.
From travel stories I have read here and there I know that Iranians are indeed hospitable.
Iran has never started a war in the last century – thus peace-loving is also true it seems. They had a revolution though to topple the bloody dictatorship by the Shah, a fascist dictator backed by the West.
Then they had to fight a war against Iraqi forces – after US backed dictator Saddam Hussein attacked them. I used to watch the gruesome reports on television when I was a kid. Probably because of or despite that Iranians prefer peace.
Classic Iranian Music
The Sufi tradition has not only spawned mysticism, dancing meditation and poetry as mentioned above.
Sufism has also lead to the creation of classic Iranian music.
Yet the traditional Sufist music is not the only one probably. I’m not an expert on this so I have to link out again. Just listen to classical Persian music here.
Persian Bloggers
Persian bloggers have been very helpful when I was creating this list. Most of them write in Persian though so I did not link to them.
Let it be said that their comments were proof that you need to love Iranian bloggers. They paint a true picture of Iran as it is.
Don’t let the biased reporting of mass media be your only source of information about Iran!
Are There More Reasons to Travel to Iran and See it for Yourself?
Of course there are many more things to love about Iran. Just read the incredible comments below!
Don’t let fanatical politicians, militarists and other war-mongers convince you that Iran is some kind of hell. Listen to the inhabitants themselves!
Many thanks to all of you who have contributed ideas!
Thanks to everybody for adding so many things you love about Iran! Of course one such post is not enough to contain them all.
Thus I had to choose those most common and easily understandable for the international public…
Shiraz win , Saadi – movlavi ( POET) ,very kind & lovely people , they love guest and they will do what ever to make their guest happy .
Our president, Imam Khomeini, TV3, Ferdosi, Saadi, Hafez, Balatarin,
I do believe that the most important reason I love iran is our old persia history.
As You love it too.
1-greet contribution to science,art and
culture(for example avesian, kharazmi,
hafez,rumi,…….)
2-the first human right law( cyrus the great)
3-the first multi cultural empire( like EU)
4-HOSPITAlITY
5-PEACelover people
6-ZOROASTER
Iran is one of the oldest civilization not only in in the middel east but also the world. the origine of first human rights come back to cyrus when he give the jews the right of their religen. if you want to learn about IranT you can study the iranian mytheology.

TITLE IN FARSI: ???? ????? ?? ????? ?????
by Gita Arani*
Firdausi’s myth about ‘Rostam and Sohrab’ can help with the understanding of the Iranian culture: This myth is often wrongly understood, since it has obtained a certain ‘coloring’ since the Sassanian times which reflects the mind of that historical time-span.
In the Sassanian times there existed a God named ‘Zamane’. An attribute of this important God was that he did not possess any reasonability at all, and that he decided, without reason, about the fates of the people. The understanding of time, was strongly influenced by this unreliable God of the period.
Interpretations of the story about ‘Rostam and Sohrab’ tended to have problems with the meaningfulness of the notion of “keeping-something-in-a-measure” as a self-dealt good and bad in the own deeds and thoughts, such as how that idea occurred in the myth. The idea of “measure” or “keeping measure” as a primary point of the original myth had been overlooked, in spite of the fact that this had been the main point of ‘Rostam and Sohrab’ in those original old text sources as how Firdowsi himself had found them in the Sassanian time.
To see a moral of action in a self-dealt “measure” of doing what is good and what is bad, was not comprehensible in the epoch, because the Zoroastrian doctrines counted the good and the bad as the matters of decision and judgment that solely the God Ahura Mazda (the supreme creative deity) possessed as his domain.
The original meaning of “keeping something in measure” was harmony; not a pre-stabilized harmony, but a harmony that one creates or produces from oneself. This idea of a “measure” as a harmony, is basically an idea that stands against terms of power, since harmony in the culturally original meaning based upon the acceptance of plurality and manifoldness.
One can pigeonhole this notion, if one decides to see “measure” as similar to “perfection”. But “measure” is an opposite term to the Abrahamic conceptions of “perfection”, since in the terms of the Abrahamic religions, power and eternity are being produced by God in his absolute might. “Measure” signifies a contrary to absoluteness ( = un-endless, in Persian,
un-endless = without measure), for “measure” always weighs against (or weighs with) something, und is thus flexible and relative.
Absolute power cannot be separated from perfection, and vice versa without perfection and power there is no absoluteness. But in the instance of weighing something against something else, and setting standards by the process of weighing the one against the other, absoluteness does not exist, complete knowledge does not exist, and a perfect good ceases to exist; for example, you lose the miracle stories at the instance where “measure” sets the standard.
Eternal power is seen as something positive and grand. That what is regarded as the qualities of God will without question also be considered as something positive within a society or a policy. Such pictures mirror themselves in these conceptions.
When Rostam loses the first battle against Sohrab, he asks God to help him. He beseeches God to restore the limitless strength that he had once possessed, which he had given up long before. He asks for this type of strength, because he wants to win. But in the moment where Rostam receives a limitless strength, he loses his ability to love and his ability to distinguish. The limitlessness in the strength or in the might causes that he completely loses the ability to understand and to perceive. Rostam does not feel any love, he cannot distinguish and cannot discern: He fails to recognize that Sohrab is his son, and kills Sohrab.
The moral of this myth about Rostam and his son Sohrab is, that people are only able to love, that they are only able to discern and to be giving, when they have “measure” and harmony. The ability of a person to decide her- or himself about good and evil within his inner considerations, is the main point of focus here. The victory is no victory. It’s not even a victory if in some other place something desirable had been created.
Not knowing about the background of the term of “measure”, is the reason why a lot of interpretations of “Rostam and Sohrab” were not satisfying. That is, usually the story is understood so, that when the old Rostam kills the young Sohrab, it would mean that the old (for example: the old cultural foundations) are seeking to destroy the young and the new – that the old seeks to win over the young with artifice and trickery. The claim that the story can be understand that way does actually exist in the minds of a range of Iranian modernists. But this is a lack of knowledge, which also leads to an underestimation of the Shahnameh epos.
In the contemporary belief of the Sassanian time, the time-god Zamane loves and hates without any reason, and he also decides about the fates and destinies of the people in that unreasonable manner. This implied that everything that happens in the world and to the individuals live all based on a source of non-reason. In reality it is so that people cannot, with reason or will, find a real sense in the own meaning and in the outer events. That is, people do not see a logical connection between their actions, their punishments and their experienced favors. This lack of ability reflects itself in this image of a God.

I would call myself an educated and open-minded person in the Western hemisphere and I don’t hold any of those view either. Only a few fanatics here are anti-Iran. The vast majority of people want peace.

I think Iran is a lovely country because of nature, history and the natural resources!
1- Iranians had a great role in the history , civilization, philosophy , art, science It has about more than 3000 Written history. This country has presented many prominent figures like :khayyam ( who has been as great mathematician & poet also ). Ferdousi ( he ahs created Shahnameh which is alike Olleyad & Oddysey) &..
Iranians like other nations do love peace , like to be in happiness not only for themsleves but also for other nations , races & other religions.
Every bidy should inderstand : there is a great valley between most the governments & the people of any given country. Some people in some countries from the political stands of Iran governmet generalise these kind of opinions & ideas to all the iranians, although iranians are very various , but most of the iranians like peace & living peace. It is obvious that loving the peace can;t gained soley , it should be commonely .

5.our country irannnnnnnn
Iranian don’t hate Jews , not even close to what christians do , after all Christians think they killed their “Lord”
Historically we helped Jews, Geopolitically Israel should be our traditional ally not Arab countries.
Iranians
love Jews and every other religion/non religion sect
are starting to tolerate homosexuality
are fighting for equality between genders
Have no intention to attack any other country and have never done that in the past 250 years
are more liberal that any other nation in the middle east
1- Iranian people don’t hate anyone. They love all people. The government hates Jews.
2- They don’t kill anyone. The Govenment does.
3- The Iranian women are brave and fight for their rights (even with men helping)
4- They hate wars. They love peace and freedom.
5- They’re fighting with the savage government in Iran …
1. Iranian people hate war

Wow again! Help me to understand more: What is “Sensational”?
Gonahkar: SEO 2.0 is not about tricking anyone, it’s about showing respect and expressing what you truly believe in. This is the best way to success even if it’s not your goal: People treated with respect wil respect you too and support you. People can sense if you do something just for the sake of the traffic or links. I do not have to trick anybody. People appreciate what I do disregarding cultural boundaries.
“The dirty blogging tricks” post is a little ironic, the “tricks” are not “dirty” at all. They are rather best practices.
1. splendid ancient and traditional architecture( mostly in Esfahan, shiraz , kashan ,Kerman , Mashhad…)
2.wonderful variety of climate(geographical diversity), you can find 4 seasons at the same time in different parts of iran ( spring in North , summer in south , atumn and even winter in west of iran )
3.persian poetry(Molawi , Hafiz ,Saadi ..) if you check wikipedia you can find some translations though those are not that much pure but at least you can get some idea..
4.faithful people ( no difference which religion we believe in , almost we have accepted all divine religions).
5.extreemly delicious and healthy energetic foods (Ghorme sabzi , abgousht, kashk, fesenjoon, gheime badmjan,kebab, and numerous colorful foods and something special about our traditional ice-cream which recently has got some fans in italy..)
6.classic persian music with outstanding artists (Shajarian , Eftekhari , Nazeri …)
7. WE new hopeful active persian generation with new insight …We are exploring art, science,policy,sport,religion and…
WE ARE REALLY GOOD !

Its nice of you to think about others, in this case Iran. But Of course there is a big different between fenatic hatefull government of Iran & lovely Iranian people. Iran or Persia was a melting pot of civilizations and demographic movements between Asia and Europe. Most people today, know Persia or Iran through its carpets, its caviar, cat, oil, or creazy mullas that invaded the Iranian plateau. The Iranian minorities include the Azaris who form the largest minority at 25%, the Kurds at 9%, the Arabs at 4%, the Lors at 2%, the Turkmens at 2%, Assyrians, Armenians 1%.and the nomads (the Bakhtiaris, the Baluchis, the Qashqais…), together with a few groups along the Caspian Sea, such as the Gilani, the Mazandarani and the Taleshi. and every one of these Iranian or Persian cultures has a different butifull thinks to add to your question. and to complet your Idea you have to visit an Iranian family any where in the world to see why they are reach in kindness of life to love.

Here I’ve listed some of the most significant characteristics of Iranian people:
1- Interest in competing with each other (Iranians are so sensitive and competitive in terms of wealth, education, social class and a lot more)
2- Aggressive yet friendly (Nowadays because of inflation and the corrupted economy, people became so aggressive, easy-fighting and intolerant, but they are still great hosts particularly to foreigners)
3- Rich in history (They are so proud of their background, literature and ancient monuments)
4- HAVING ENTHUSIASM ABOUT EDUCATION (Families even poor ones encourage or even force their children to get as much education as possible. There are hundreds of thousands of Iranian studying all over the world. Iran has the highest rate of brain drain in the world, regarding to its population)
5- Worshiping their nationality (Although sometimes Iranian feel oppressed because of their government’s actions yet they are always proud to be Iranian. In other words, they’re some of the most patriotic people on earth)
6- Having a great and colorful cuisine (as other people commented, Persian food is so complex and diverse)
7- Their ability to drive (Iranian people are some of the best drivers in the world in terms of how to park their car in tiny slots, how to maneuver and overtake hundreds of cars in a shortest time, how to pass red lights, how to find their way through other cars, how to HORN and … how to frighten lady drivers off!!)
Persian Hospitality
my 7 favorite things about Iran are
1. the mountains (Alborze peak in particular)
2. THE FOOD
3. the literature
4. the Iranian classic music
5. all the historic sites
6. the aesthetic sensebilities
7. the Caspian sea and PERSIAN Gulf

We hate Jews, but Europe is responsible for Holocaust! We want to destroy Israel but Iraq and Afghanistan already binged destroyed by USA and needlessly to mention Nagasaki and Hiroshima. We oppress women but porno against women and children are made in the west. The roots of fanatic are from the west but Iranians are accused for that.
For your information, the authorities in charges of mentioned crimes are not real representatives of the people of Iran. We, Iranians are very kind and human lovers

well, great post, i have to say, cause i’m really tired of explainin all my western friends that “Iranians are NOT bla bla” or “Iranians ARE bla bla bla”.
so, i’m really curious to know the BAD things about Iranians from your pov. i mean coming from you, they’d be real help to us to know the ways we suck!
1.zoroaster
2.Heavy Traffic is a little disappointing but it’s fun.
3.Iranian chicks.

you’re really a kind man, I really appreciate it.
Hey….Thanks for your great appreciation about us.
I think one of the craziest thing about Iranians is having a good sense of humor. Iranians don’t laugh too much about any funny things (that you consider as funny) making them laugh is one of the hardest things in the world. despite this fact, they know how to make each other laugh.
just see the comments which they say about AhmadiNejad as a likable person! it’s a very big joke about him. and other comments like that.

Good job man! You are being so kind with us. We are flattered!
1) we ARE NOT NOT arabs
2) we HATE the arabs
3) we love the jews- they love us too and know our culture more than we think
4) the smartness of the current islamic government for somehow promising freedom then killing all oppostion and imposing islamic law and dress code on a nation which had women wearing mini skirts and western clothing!
5) indians, afghans etc. own shops- persians hava higher percentage of people who are successful
6) arabs hate us and we hate them
7) long live israel (i am not jew- and i would like a jewish person to see this and therefore make the distinction that we iranians are NOT their arab enemies, but are their brothers and sisters, infact in their holy book our king koroush is called the blessed one for rescuing the jews and letting them pray)
kourosh, thank you for your clarification, but why introduce “hate” in a love post? I know that Americans tend to mistake Iranians for Arabs but I never did, although both are Muslims.
In fact I my short life I already had the opportunity to meet and befriend some or many Arabs, Isrealis, Jews, Iranians and even an Arabian Israeli. The bottom line is they’re all just humans!
I won’t delete your comment, because I attribute your “hate arabs” remarks to your poor English. You probably wanted to express that Arab countries are rather the enemies of Iran than Israel.
Also, please take into account that Israelis are not per se Jews and hating Jews is like hating Muslims.
I am not a religious person, but I respect very much any religious beliefs and traditions of other people.
If you’re from an Arabian country please do not reply to this “hate Arabs” comment in the same style.
well onreact (i know that isn’t your name) and to clarify i’ll write in perfect english so that you don’t associate my views with someone who is non educted or has poor use of grammer. Israel would love to be friends with Iran if the government were’nt so stubborn. Iran has the second highest population of jews in the middle east (second only to Israel). The arabs hate us, and i have met many arabs, and yes they do hate persia. infact saddam husseins final words were ‘death to america and persians’, also the saudi king sided with iraq during the iran-iraq war. so i believe that arabs are an enemy of Persia, we are a constant reminder of their failure to arabise us and invade our land. we are the only country to have kept our culture and history intact. All states with a sunni majority hate us, minus syria (who have a shi ite government but are mainly sunni).

IRAN is and always will be the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
I LOVE IRAN
Thank you for helping our country. I only want to say that every country has negative points and positive point. Iran is neither the worse nor the best country in the world. We only want to live like other people. But unfortunately this peaceful living is neither in favor of many other countries nor our goverment.
I love my iran.
people in west thinks you have to be muslim if u r iranian, but iranian people are zartisht, jews, christians, sufis, bahai and more… and we all are iranians, we all love our vatan and always have. no one will be able to destroy our nationality by saying christians or azeris arnt iranian because we all have faught for eachother, we have all put prints in our history, we have all contributed to the poetry and so on! the love for sarzamine iran is very strong, i think its one of the strongest nationality feeling in the world!
yeah its crap iranian people hates jews, persian jews have lived in iran for like 2700years and we are all iranians. the persian jews of iran have been offered 10 000 dollars to move to israel and what do they say? never, we wont sell our identity!
maybe we joke about turks and rashtia a lot but we laugh with eacother, we all serve iran. and one day when the fanatic thigs are gone most will go back and rebuild iran. we have always been tolerate to peoples beliefs, its not importatnt wich god you belong to, we are first iranians and then muslims,jews or zartosht.
DOBARE MISAZIMET VATAN. and we will kick them hizbollah idiots out!
i forgot, one thing that must go on the list other than what has been said is…
ABBGOSHT. the best food in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that IRAN is not only a country.It’s some kind of LOVE.It’s life.It’s history.It’s peace.It’s everything.And we don’t want to destroy any country.We are just against bad politics of that nasty usa and some europe.And women in IRAN are free as you can see in here.I think we (Persians) want this like this.
Persians (Iranians) love jews
Persians (Iranians) don’t kill homosexuals
Persians (Iranians) don’t oppress women
Persians (Iranians) don’t want to destroy Israel and Europe with nuclear weapons
Persians (Iranians) are not all armed and fanatical

I would go there if I had enough money, hopefully the US doesn’t decide to clear the area for eurocentrinization and oil drilling.
I love walking in ESFAHAN streets and the avenues because they are all connected. I love Iranian people. I am in LOVE with persian food . I like iranian history. and i like you for writing this blog.
Very interesting – yes the Western Media general stereo types people , countries and continents. Look how long they have done that to Africa from the earliest days of TV. The bottom line is that people are people and when they don’t anything they jump on the bandwagon and follow the popular thought of thinking (often to FIT in with the CROWD) I personally don’t and never will judge countries or people on what the media say or say black is white when its not – I have a open mind since leaving the education system in the West many moons ago.
Thanks for sharing!
