It's very, very high on my list. But if you have an American or British passport you currently can't go without an escort.
(I'm an Overlander, I drove AK-Argentina and am now driving right around Africa. I've met 200+ people that have been to Iran)
This worked even in Iran, and she met up with a Norwegian-Iranian family; but her government assigned minder/'translator' wouldn't let her sleep in their house. She counted as a journalist and there's no way Iran would let a loose journalist float around their society interviewing unsupervised ordinary people for the TV.
Pity, it does look like an interesting place to visit.
I extended in Angola when getting a visa there was hard, I extended it in Mali, Zimbabwe, just looked into it in Ethiopia, etc.
Of course, as Overlanders we have our own vehicles are I'd say 50% of us are not time limited [1], so we just stay as long as we want in countries we like.
[1] NOTE: Many of us - me included - are money limited, not time limited.
My country people treat foreigners nicer than their own people because for some reason they believe that foreigners are rich and foreigners might give them reward or smth.
It's a common belief that foreigners are rich and locals aren't.
Same way if you are rich in Iran being a local isn't a problem people treat you extra nice
Once one foreigner brought an iPad for my friend.
It might seem odd to foreigners that in East simply looking rich/ or having money can earn you their nice behaviour.
