PLEASE READ ALL OF THE 'ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS FROM THIS DPT. OF STATE LINK!!

Unlike what Mell suggested, you MUST enter with an Iranian passport—just read this excerpt from the above link:

"U.S. passports are valid for travel to Iran. However, the Iranian government does not recognize dual nationality and will treat U.S.-Iranian dual nationals solely as Iranian citizens. Thus, U.S. citizens who were born in Iran, who became naturalized citizens of Iran (e.g. through marriage to an Iranian citizen), and children of such persons—even those without Iranian passports who do not consider themselves Iranian—are considered Iranian nationals by Iranian authorities. Therefore, despite the fact that these individuals hold U.S. citizenship, under Iranian law, they must enter and exit Iran on an Iranian passport, unless the Iranian government has recognized a formal renunciation or loss of Iranian citizenship. Dual nationals may be subject to harsher legal treatment than a visitor with only American citizenship. (See section on Special Circumstances below.)" Reply to this

Hey,

I have a luxembourgish (Luxembourg, Europe) passport but was born in Israel (Jerusalem) and have an Israeli name (Faran Livneh). Is it possible for me to get a visa for Iran as I would love to travel there...? I have read that they don't let israeli citizens in but nothing about Israeli names or birthplaces....

Thanks for your help

another point:
if you can get an Iranian ID card, then, you can easily come to this wonderful land 😊
