It is not a requirement to agree with any particular political decision or religious ideology to visit Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in Iran, you will hear a lot of different views from different people about politics and religion, and inevitable all travellers will have their own thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Iranian government is very sensitive to any foreign involvement in internal political affairs, so any political activity inside Iran, particularly directed against the Iranian government, could lead to arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least while in Iran, it is best to keep your views private on political and religious matters.<\/p>\n\n\n
