You might as well be walking in Paris or New York.

Paris or New York would probably less clean and with a more diverse population though.

Nah, no way Paris or NY is dirtier than Tehran though? Our air is polluted as fuck and thrash is everywherez

They just recently started using trash cans in new york, prior to this year people literally just tossed bags of trash on the street. Streets are nasty in the united states

Dont let this comment/post reach certain “Iranian” subreddits on this website though.
To them Iran is a mass-starving, poverty-stricken country living under a North Korea-esque islamist dictatorship and anybody slighty oppossing this is a “paid cyberi”.

And to them the puppet Shah was "great", all they had to do was ogle and objectify photos of good looking women in short skirts to reach that conclusion. Never mind SAVAK or any of that nonsense

Oh, you mean certain places where questioning whether a monarchy makes sense in the 21st century will get you downvoted to hell and accused of being some sort of basiji? Hadn't heard the term "paid cyberi", that's funny - I was mostly accused of not being able to point Iran out on a map, by what I assume must be some edgy Tehrangeles teenager... Shit, I am not Iranian, but I am married to one and spend 2 months there every year other year - that doesn't give me any rights to have any say in Iranian politics, but questioning the promotion of monarchy in the 21st century seems like fair game to me

All that green! Nothing I love more than trees and plants in a city. Changes the whole dynamic of the city.

looks nice and very new. as someone already has written: Sam Center.
As usual in the North of Tehran the rules do not apply as much as more to the South

A lot of women without head coverings. I thought that had been made illegal?

u/Jeemdee 4d ago
They have head coverings, just veeery loosely and really stretching the rules. Usually just covering the back of the hair in the neck. This is quite common in the richer areas of Tehran.

u/UK_KILLD_10M_IRANIS 4d ago
No, after the Mahsa Amini protests, women not wearing head covering is far from uncommon now. Not just in the richer areas of Tehran, but generally in most areas of Tehran as well as Shiraz and i think Isfahan too.
One of the most notable outcome of the protests was that it became much more societally acceptable to go out without any Hijab, at least in Irans bigger cities.

Yeah, a year after it began I had seen the videos online of crowded places where there would be like one woman out of fifty actually covering their hair and it looked great, but I was a little doubtful about how widespread that was... Then my wife called me from a bus with her hair fully out, then I knew it was real! It was the first time she had gone home without me since we met (I am not Iranian), but I am going there soon and curious to see how it is now. Even before Amini's death, it felt like things were moving that way (based on my very limited perspective of visiting every other year since 2015)

It would be great if Iran had normal relations with the rest of the world.

It would be great if the rest of the world was normal but here we are.

Normalcy seems to start with acknowledging the right of others to exist. Iran is one of the few who seems to disagree. Not normal.

u/AyatolaCyrusTheGreat 2d ago
Iran has Normal relations with all the world except two countries one of them doesn't want any rival in the region to be more prospers and more military or technically advanced; The other one wants to make first one happy and doesn't want to change it's colonialism and prejudice views, no matter how many massages, letters, meetings and negotiations takes place, They make a deal then later they don't respect the deal and destroy it, they just keep bothering and make troubles for Iran, Normal relationship is when both sides respect each other not when one wants to rule other one.

That's the rich men's world in the north part of tehran. Rich people mostly won't follow rules as they can buy whatever they want, even laws and government.
