A fascinating piece of recent history. The former US Embassy in Tehran. Contrary to what you may read online, it *is* possible to go inside and look around. The grounds are filled with anti-US/Israel propaganda art. A must-see if ever you visit Iran.
The former US Embassy in Tehran is also a good place with beautiful scenery. This embassy is also a huge space. The history of Tehran is also very respectable. I like to come here to play. It's pretty good.
The former US embassy in Iran, the original site of the film "Escape from Tehran", because I decided to come here to see the mottled walls full of anti-American slogans, graffiti after years of scouring but not old.
During a walk through the street view, we quickly came to the wall of the former U.S. Embassy in Iran. This courtyard near the subway station once shocked the world with the hostage incident in 1979. Since then, Iran and the United States have fought against each other, and it is still a deadly enemy. The large-scale graffiti on the exterior of the wall, which has gone through years of storms and storms, has become obsolete, ugly and provocative. It faithfully records the grievances and resentments between the two countries across the Pacific Ocean at that time. At the same time, we also noticed that huge photographs of Iranian leaders in front of high-rise buildings across the road and flags flying everywhere seemed to remind people of what to pay attention to, but the pace of the passers-by seemed to have forgotten that period of history, and only tourists like us would pay attention to this so-called cultural attraction. Because it's a scenic spot, it's hard to see more tourists. We walk along the visual impact of the external wall to the last scenic spot, the nearby art house.
It's an anti-American museum now. There are indeed many satirical pictures of the United States on the outside wall. It's quite creative.
There's nothing inside. I can only look outside. There are many anti-American emperor paintings on the exterior wall.
After a series of murals, I came to a stop in front of one of the most famous and distinctive murals. In fact, this painting is to paint the American statue of liberty as a wicked skull, and the background is the American flag and map. I don't know why this one is my favorite among many murals. After reading these murals, I really feel that the people of Iran are living in deep water. And my 25-day trip to Iran is also in deep water. Close to the subway station, even to see graffiti to take photos, can not enter the visit, although unique, but I do not think it can represent the real attitude of most ordinary Iranians towards the United States. It's worth visiting a few shops selling tourist souvenirs across the street. The quality of things is high and the price is fair. A group of small partners stayed in a larger shop for more than an hour to make up for what they didn't buy enough in Isfahan.
