Hi, everyone! I hope you like the new video! Note that there is a production mistake at 1:41. It says "2%" next to "Azeris" but that is a mistake. In my script it "Azeris 16% + 2% other Turkic". I hope that someday KZfaq will allow us to upload updated video files so I can fix things like that in the video, but they don't let us. I'd have to delete this and upload it as an entirely new video., deleting all the comments, etc.

In the 90’s, I invited my parents to eat in a « Persian Restaurant », in Paris. And, talking with the owners, I discovered it was an Iranian restaurant. 😅 What a surprise, and the food was soooo delicious !!! 🤗♥️🇮🇷

I am from Afghanistan, I grew up in iran. Now I live in Germany. I have seen a lot of countries but I think iran is one of the bests because of its culture, people, landscape, different climate and ect

I'm in Iran rignt now and never stop being in awe about this beautiful land!! 🇮🇹❤🇮🇷

As a Persian speaker from Afghanistan, I love Iran

Iran is my favorite country in the World. The history grabbed me first, then the architecture and art. I visited for seventeen days in 1999, and it is difficult to find words to describe how wonderful it was. I had my own guide and driver, both of whom were wonderful and brotherly to me. The people were kind and curious about me, the food was great, and there are thousands of sites of interest to me as a lover of history and art. I HIGHLY recommend going. If you are American as I am, you must go with a tour company approved by Iran.

Love İran from north Kurdistan ( 🦃side) I love Persian people 😍😍 I wanna learn Persian lenguage. ♥️☀️💚🇮🇷 Zindabad Aryanam

Iranians are very friendly and welcoming towards foreigners. Would like to visit it when normal travel resumes.

As a an Indian I can say we share many things in Common with Iranians ..... Such as Persian being India's official language till the year 1856 .. Parsis coming too India and Zoroastrianism being a minority religion in both countries.. Certain Iranian cuisines are So similar to Indian one s .. Such as the Samosas and Jalebis...

I have met a lot of Iranian people and they are the sweetest, kindest and most adorable people ever. It makes me feel bad for them that they all do not like their government and had suffered thanks to the British, Soviets, CIA, Saddam Hussein, Americans and of course, their own government. Iran is still somehow a beautiful country with beautiful people. I wish all the people of Iran the best

As an Iranian, I'll share this video as an unbiased introduction to Iran to my non-Iranian friends. Excellent work! Perhaps, as a follow-up video, the contemporary sociocultural environment of Iran would be an interesting topic to explore. Iran has a very young population which is highly dynamic despite all the restrictions imposed on it internally and externally. Quite educated and progressive, given the circumstances.

Iran is honestly the heart of the world 🌹❤️

Westerner here. Iran/Persia has some of the most underrated history that more people should know about. Zoroastrianism, the many Empires, Wars, rivalry with Rome, the conversion to Shia Islam, ect. We in the West owe so much to Iran/Persia. Greetings from Italia!

I’m Saudi and I wish to visit Iran

As a Persian myself i liked the video but the misconception about country is that people think it's not a safe place for tourists, which is totally wrong. Iranians are super nice and friendly and Iran has lush jungles and lakes you can visit. Love to all ❤️🤝

as a Persian i give you the seal of approval, this video was very well made.

It's lovely to see such a detailed and unbiased video about Iran from one of my most favorite youtubers as an Iranian. I wish people know how welcoming Iranians are towards guests (actually too much, lol) and how drastically different but still interesting are its regions, cultures and cuisine.

Paul, you are a such an awesome guy. When I struggle in English, I think about you. You give me power 💪🏻🔥

Iran is love, love is Iran Iran is life, life is Iran My country ❤

To answer your question as an Iranian who lives in Iran, the most common misconception about Iran is the way our own media portrays Iranians, I estimate that maybe only a third of our population is supportive of the current government, but our media shows otherwise, same as with religion. Iran is in this weird period of transition, when religion is becoming less popular rapidly and each generation cares less about religious values. The sad thing is, we can’t legally change our religion to Christianity or Judaism or even change it to agnosticism or atheism, so this creates a false image in the statistics and they can say that 90 percent of the population is legally Muslim. However, I am legally a Muslim, BUT I have never stepped foot in a mosque voluntarily, except for when I was a kid and I didn’t really understand, nor have I ever read Quran voluntarily, I was made to do so in school (and even in higher education), but ever since then, I haven’t read it and I don’t intend to. Of course I respect religions and religious people, that’s not my point here. but the truth about Iran is not what our government shows in our media. Keep up the good work, thank you for the video

12:42 As an Iranian, I've heard a lot from people living in other countries saying that Iran is not safe at all. I can assure you that there is nothing dangerous about Iran. I've seen people who have traveled here and tell me they even feel more safe than the feel in their countries :)

As an Iranian, I should say that I learned so much from this video. Besides, It was quite informative and everything said was for sure 100% authentic. Much love.

Iran has historically and right up to the present day been totally misrepresented by others (such as Greeks in the ancient time which actually is the basis of west's misconception of the Persians and nowadays, America, Europe and Israel), because they feel threatened by its well established diverse, complete, and amazing cultures. Iran is one of the oldest countries if not the oldest in the world.

I don’t know why the US doesn’t improve relations with Iran. Honestly I blame the old ages of both the US and Iranian politicians involved, many being stuck in the ‘70s mentally Young citizens of today in both countries have no hate. As an American I can’t wait to visit Iran at some point 🇺🇸 🤝 🇮🇷

Another country I want to visit. Fascinating history and culture.

I am an Azeri Iranian and hope to see you in iran one day :)

An amazing video as always, thank you so much Paul 🙏🏼

Great video, I have been following your channels for several years, your content is so informative 👌🏼💎

This is an amazing video! You have done such a great job! Best video I’ve ever seen on Iran. It captures so many aspects of the country and so accurately. Thank you for this!

Thank you for the presenting Iran to the world . I would like to introduce Shiraz , a city located in the middle of Iran and it's known as the culture capital of Iran . the population of Shiraz is 1.7 millions and Perspolis (an ancient complex from 2500 years ago) is located near to this city. also it's been the home of the most well known Persian poets such as Sa'di and Hafez . and Shiraz was the capital of Iran around 250 years ago during the era of Zand kingdom .

Very informative! Learned so much! Thanks!

Very good information in an easy to understand format

A well-put-together video, as always. Thanks for trying to clear some of the misconceptions about Iran.👍

Iran has such incredible history. Shame our politicians are so hostile to it. 🇺🇸🇮🇷

Great video 👍 thanks

Thank you so much for making such a great video❤👌

Great video!

That was fantastic 👏💕

Thank you so much for the video. We are very thankful for your kindness for making this video and great effort 🙏

Hi, I am from Iran and I wanted to say thank you for making a video of our country and that I was very surprised when I first heard that other people think that Iran is just a desert.

Loved this video. Reminded me of the my dear Iranian friends I made while studying in US, a couple of years ago. I’d like to point out that Persian food is really so good, thanks for mentioning this topic in the video. Somehow this food also feels so familiar to me (Brazilian speaking here)

Thank you... I love the culture the food and (undiscovered yet) their TV dramas..🇱🇾

Love your videos! They're always so nice and entertaining.

You did amazing job, thx.

Excellent description of Iran. Perfect pronunciation. Hope you dig more into Persian history and its different dynasties in the future.

Great video as always, Paul! Could you do Libya next? Love both your channels, this one and Langfocus! ☺️

Great video ,thanks for the great job

Awesome videos mate. Very informative and eye opening Cheers!

😍Love my country , Thank you for your great video. Unfortunately No one can’t imagine how beautiful is Iran. Unless you visit this beautiful country.

Just for improvement. We Azaris in Iran do not see ourselves as "Turkic" but as descendants of the Medes.

Awesome video!!

This channel is just fantastic I’m binge watching these videos and feel like I’m travelling around the world

You pronounce the characters and places' names very clean, super close to how native speakers do it An Informative video 👍👍👍 Did subscribe

Very nice video for giving a clear image of Iran. Our historical naturaly beautiful land. Thanks a lot Lang focus😅👌

Thank you for this very informative video

That was great. Thanks

I am from Tunisia, I have just come back from a journey to Iran, and I am still amazed by the beauty of the country, the environment and the colourful roses, the kindness, honesty and generosity of itspeople , the safety and security during our tour... there is so much to say about different things. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Iran.

Salaam from Iran! We'll be glad to see you here!

Great clip, mate.

Thank you for the informative content of your video

Once again, Paul is blasting my day with a super cool video. It's just amazing how your content catches my attention every time. You're fantastic at your job! I wish I had someone like you as my teacher... Can't wait to see a video on more South America, African and island nations :)

as an Iranian, I can point to some misconceptions like our language: the official language is Farsi and not Arabic hijab: although there is a law for ladies to cover their hair and dress modestly, this law is not enforced strictly. so no worries for foreign ladies who are coming to Iran as tourists. Iran it's not at all like Saudi Arabia, the degree of tolerance and the variety of different people living together having different way of thinking will surprise the visitors. unlike what is advertised in media Iran is a safe country (as many western travelers are confirming this in their KZfaq travel logs) ladies are not oppressed in Iran. some may argue the opposite but as evidence of the presence of ladies in all activities in the society (education, politics, business..) is obvious. as correctly pointed in this great video, Iran is not a desert 🏜️. most parts of Iran is four seasoned and all kind of climates can be experienced in Iran. Iranian currency is relatively weak comparing to dollar, so foreigners can easily enjoy best services such as transportation and hotels, food with very cheap cost.

Thanks for sharing

Good and unbiased work 👍

Thank you so much for an unbiased presentation about IRAN

As an iranian im amazed when i see people think we only ride camels in hot deserts(i've never been in a desert) We dont eat americans and westerners here so travel to iran more guys it is safe and you will have fun Very accurate video i loved it Also i hope you travel soon to iran and if you came to lorestan i will be happy to have you as my guest for several days.

Very good video 👍🏼👍🏼

wow! 🤗😃💥It was great, mate 🤩 I enjoyed watching this video❤💛💚💙💜

Thank you for this educational video. As an Iranian it always breaks my heart to see most non-Iranian people only associate Iran with political conflicts... It's really nice to see there are people out there showing some other aspects of Iran to the world. Thanks 🙏

I think this is your best episode at the moment in this channel. A lot of deep information to have a more clear visualization of this really big country. Answering your question, well, several things, but I would highlight the different etnhic groups, their main cities outside Tehran and the weather according to the different regions (I knew it wasn't all desert, but not more than that). I would like to visit it too btw. Meanwhile I could start watching Iranian films again, I did it before but it passed much time since the last time haha. P.S.: In Spanish, Iran (Irán) also means "(they) will go".

This channel is great!

Thanks for beautiful unbiased introduction 👍🏼🌺

LONG LIVE IRANIAN EMPIRE

This video was great, you could introduce Iran well. But another thing that Attracts the attention about Iran, is the famous people who lived in Iran, but you didn't mentioned them. The people like : Abu Bakr al-Razi (physician, philosopher and alchemist) Omar Khayyam (polymath, mathematician, astronomer, historian, philosopher, and poet) Avecina (polymath, physician, astronomer and philosopher) Rumi (poet) Saadi Shirazi (poet) Hafez Shirazi (poet) Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (polymath, architect, philosopher, physician, scientist, and theologian) Ferdowsi (poet and the author of Shahnameh) Attar of Nishapur (poet) Nezami (poet) Al-Biruni (scholar and polymath) and many more... I love your videos and I glad to see that you have made a video about my country

Thanks for True information ❤️

These videos are incredible!

You pronounced Mashhad with perfect 👌 accent bravo 👏 and I'm from Iran and I hate when people in the world say it's not a safe country,the last war in Iran ended 32 years ago and it's a pretty safe place to travel.

Very good explain 🇮🇷😍

Hi mate Thanks for your beautiful information.

Learned allot in this brief video !

Excellent👏 As an Iranian, I believe this is one of the greatest videos about Iran on KZfaq, with almost no mistakes. I recommend you check out walk street videos in Tehran for getting a better view.

As an Iranian, thank you for introducing my country to the English speakers of the world correctly and impartially

I love all of your videos 👍 Great job 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you ❤️

Thank you سپاس

Im Iranian and I must applaud you for this great informative and unbiased video.

Incredible thank you!

This is a great summary of the essential facts about Iran. Many thanks.

Knowledge and education in Persian culture are of paramount importance. Despite shortcomings, due to imposed sanctions and lack of management, in this day and age, the level of higher education and research is high in Iran and numerous Iranian scientists, researchers, and medical practitioners are working at the highest levels of their professions around the world.

To all people who see this video wanna say that please don't judge Iranian with media & government, Iran is so different from what you think and if you come here you will love it

Best video in youtube describing all the misconceptions !

As an Iranian, I love your video. I didn’t know you had this channel Great video and great channel

Hi, Paul! i am a great fan of your videos, thanks for this one as well. Yet this time i noticed inaccuracy: you are using an old map of Iran's administrative division. There have been changes some time ago concerning the provinces of Yazd, Khorasan, Kerman, Azerbaijan and others.

As an Iranian And Isfahanian girl, enjoy listening to your report, that was perfect 👌

Felicidades por el vídeo 👍

Well done. You did a great job. I liked it dude. God bless.

finally some one that say's good about Iran :) sepas gozaram (thank you)

In all the world news, he says that Iran has the worst wars in the world, but I traveled to Iran. They were the kindest people I had ever seen. There is no war in that beautiful country. People are kind to each other for no reason and they love each other. They are happy with the smallest thing. That country is very powerful, but it does not hurt anyone. I was a stranger in that country and our country is bad with them, but they loved me.

Nice job

Thank you for one of the honest video I have ever seen
