I don't trust the Iranians, neither the government nor the people. I remember the '70s, when I got to know a few in college.
I had a select Iranian real estate clientele just after the fall/exile of the Shah.
My initial client's circle-of-influence including several military generals who fled the country. That was circa 1979-1989.
He was a businessman, friendly to the Pahlavi family...who reportedly transacted deals involving Boeing 707's full of Polaroid cameras, etc., between the time it entered Iranian airspace and the time the wheels touched down.
Literally. BEFORE it came to a stop.
...to this day, have a fondness for bowls of fresh fruit in the center of the kitchen table.
The stories I had translated for me....LOL!
One was a story of a village wife who reached the end of her rope with her drunken husband coming home broke, and decided to teach him a lesson by calling the military, who were sent in to bring back law and order.
When he didn't return home after the weekend, she walked to the police station to inquire his whereabouts..., they were told that he'd been shot.
They all laughed. To this day, still not sure if it was fable.
