As the ones you met. Except i met them in more recent decades.

But the spirit of the people seems to be the same. Their view of their own history and and what great things they can do.

They are very proud of their culture and history and think very highly of it. Yet at the same time there is the lack of arrogance and they come off as very kind .

Israel and their Arab allies (on this issue) are afraid of being overshadowed by this country.

There is also more unity of Iranian people unlike the Arab states (see their lack of support for refugees).
