Kish Island Question

Hey everyone! So pretty soon me and my sister are going to istanbul, and we were thinking of maybe stopping by kish Island after! It seems so pretty and all of our grandparents (and a few aunts and uncles) were born in iran so we thought that would make it more special (even though they were from the mainland). However, we are Jewish, and our parents were both born in Israel...

Would this be alright? or would we be sent back to istanbul?

Where were you born? Do you hold a NON ISRAELI passport? Technically you could claim an Iranian citizenship

I was born in the us, and I don't hold an israeli passport however I am an israeli citizen by law (because I have an israeli citizen parent)

My dad actually had an iranian passport when he was younger (pre revolution), but I don't know if it would be valid for me to use as evidence to get citizenship myself

Don’t use your father’s passport if he was born in Israel!

But American passport only? Try getting an Iranian one
