VOA:
In the heart of Persian Square, in West Los Angeles, everyone is getting ready for Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, when family members visit each other.Normally it’s the busy season for the travel agencies that cater to the Iranian community. But not this year.
“They ask us questions more than they make reservation,” said Sherry Tahouri, owner of Shahrezad Tour and Travel.
Tahouri caters mostly to the Iranian Community in Los Angeles, many of whom still have family in Iran.
President Donald Trump’s revised executive order banning travelers who do not currently have visasfrom six Muslim majority countries from entering the U.S. for three months is scheduled to take effect on March 16.Among the six countries on the travel order is Iran.
Even before it takes effect, the order is disrupting Nowruz travel plans. “Most people when they purchase their ticket, they are purchasing a non-refundable ticket, the lowest fare and in that case, they were asking, 'We need our refund because we’re scared to go there. We don’t want to go,'” said Farhad Besharati, owner of Travel ATT.

I'm not. I have travelled twice out of country since the ban, and returned with no problems.
But I have no connections in any shape or form to the Ruling terrorists in Iran.

Tazeh....They are lucky they did not ask the agency to find a way to get their luggage to tehran for free!
It is a typical trait, Wanting everything for a lowest possible price/hassle-free:)
If you have a legitimate reason to travel to Iran (i.e., death in the family, sick parents, etc.) there is no need to be afraid! On the other hand, if you have to travel there to report on your fellow Iranians to the IRI regime and pick up your paychecks then you need to be worried!
Hey Doc,
Picture some of these cheap Iranians doing all the usual moftkhori and moftnooshi, binging on delicious Iranian food and cheap wine back home while bragging about how they ignored Tramp's ban. It gives them some kind of self-importance they need so badly.
Yeah, GR.
I Have lost all respect for pretty much all of those who fall into that category. Like you said they are cheap, both economically and in terms of the way the coduct themselves. It is best to avoid these creatures and stick with true natives. Keeping as much distance as possible:))
Where they really belong is their "Motherland" , they tear themsleves a giant hole for.
But hey. What can one expect, ya know? How can you really straighten hypocrites up?:)

Hey. do those paychecks include the campaign they run on this side of the pond, promoting crappy slogans such as "Erraan's future is in the hands of iranians inside?"
I think IRI throws in a little extra something in there for them LOL.
