It's not according to my opinion, it's according to the research I've done. My research is secondary, but their research might be primary, interviewing Iranians directly or being in Iran.
But I take your point. I would love to go to Iran if it weren't so dangerous for Canadians to be there now.
It's a good question. Again, I did not pull this out of thin air. This is based on a number of different articles and books that I've read. I'd be happy to provide you with some of those as examples.
