Then Iran took action in response and carried out a ballistic missile attack on airbases housing US forces in Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The political issues ceased after the senior officials of the two countries showed a tendency to decrease the escalation of a probable war in the region. \u201cWe do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression.\u201d Said Javad Zarif, Foreign Minister of Islamic Republic of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Trump had said that targeting Americans would provoke a strong US response and everybody\u2019s speculation was that America could be on the brink of war. Then Mr. Trump tweeted and the tone shifted &#8211; &#8220;all is well!&#8217; he said &#8211; the world seemed less sure. The lack of casualties of US troops was crucial to what the president did next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the whole, it seems that it is just the civilians and normal people\u2019s lives that get influenced by the nations\u2019 political adventures. And this is not the first time we see these types of conflicts which is intended to increase the pressure so that they can have the upper hand and benefit most when negotiating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-is-it-now-safe-to-travel-to-iran\"><strong>So is it now safe to travel to Iran?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No doubt it is. Iran has always been safe for tourists despite the engineered picture projected in the mainstream media.

So, it&#8217;s time for you to decide to come visit the country with your own eyes and see the real picture of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at SURFIRAN we make sure to keep our clients updated with the latest news of the country.
