Vice Guide to Iran
Video Overview & Insights
From the downing of a passenger jet, to the assassination of a top general, and now one of the world's largest coronavirus outbreaks, life in the Islamic Republic is facing its toughest challenges since it was founded in 1979.
I didn't know David Blaine was Persian!
Just days before all hell broke loose, VICE founder Suroosh Alvi travelled the country, meeting people from all walks of life: from hipsters to hostage takers, and from top lawmakers to one of Iran's heaviest metal bands.

@PayviBabySoDamnCrazyHow did the whole "Iran hates America" thing start?
Care to search "Mohammad Mosaddegh"?
America has engaged in proxy wars since its inception up until today. 3 centuries and continuing.
But if someone else is to do anything close to a proxy war then they are the epitome of evil.
Come on man!!!
Iran is a terrible place, don’t waste your time on this country
@geniusloci8203what the mother fucvker is the guy in cafe tehroon 40:00

Genuinely wish to visit here one day. What a beautiful place!
@maryam_harbawiIran and Persian language and art is beautiful. Islam destroyed it centuries ago. But The Iranians survived cultural genocide by arab Islamic invasion. Time to throw Islam back to the other side of Persian gulf. ایران زنده باد
@navrandhawa9862I am from Australia, this documentary has helped me to open my mind on Iran. In the west our leaders paint countries like Iran as being everything bad. Your documentary reveals a country that is beautiful and a people who are kind and welcoming. And resilient in the face of a great deal of unfair treatment by the west. I am disgusted that the USA places sanctions on any country. They have no right to harm the people of any nation just because they can. The US has done so much to harm the peoples of so many nations with their silly acts of power. It harms the people not the govt. before the US you at the English meddling in the Middle East. It’s not hard to see why the people of these countries have developed distrust towards western countries. I was left thinking deeply towards the end of the documentary and cannot help but wonder if the treatment of the Iranian govt by the us and others in the west hasn’t played a part in some of the ways the govt has restricted its people too. I wonder if the Ia]radian govt was dealt with more fairly and freely if this would have softened Iranians views of the western communities and made it easier for some of the western freedoms to seep into the govt over decades. I don’t think we have all the answers in the west and our communities have lots of problems too but I wonder what that “blended” society would look like for both countries had it not been for all the reasons the US gave the Iranian govt over decades to hate us., which no doubt hardened their stance perhaps towards its people too.
@ladybeekeeper7777Women are the key - for goodness and freedom
@ruffmeow989334:54 this woman and her husband are two of the most corrupt people in Iran, most Iranian hate her and when people take the power back she most likely will end up for life in prison
@mara3572the problem here is the iranian regime which doesn't interpret and practice Islam as it should be. i saw many videos from iran in which extremely backward iranians abused and attacked females who did not have a hijab on. two girls were in a shop shopping with their hijabs down, suddenly a guy comes and abuses them (maybe), shouts at them for not wearing hijab and reminding them of the law and what's worse is threw yoghurt or milk at them for which the store owner attacked him back for disrespecting with them, another video showed the same mindset iranian shout at an iranian woman for not having hijab on etc. these backward people are unfortunately not arrested for their behaviour which has absolutely no relation to Islam. Islam doesn't say to disrespect females by abusing them, beating them, forcing them. islam absolutely condemns these kind of acts. according to Islam, if a female doesn't have the hijab on then the person must go and talk to her in a nice manner about how is she, how is her family, friends, life etc. like basic conversation and then tell her about hijab and its benefits regarding society and herself personally. if she still doesn't agree then leave her as u have done your responsibility, now its between her and Allah (God). never hit or abuse females if you are a muslim bcz our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "take care and look after your wives as they are like your companions, friends and life partner not slaves", "the best amongst you is the one who is best to his wives", "approach females while lowering your gaze out of respect", "paradise lies under the feet of mothers" (respect love and care for your mothers to achieve paradise). there are many other verses, sayings and commands of islam regarding how you must take care, respect females. i hope the regime understands, interprets and practices Islam as it should be Ameen
@younisshahgillani7662OK. Explain to me where in a country like Iran claiming to have a republic stand point without the separation of church and state? Edit: Fact Cyrus The Great abolished slavery, and Islam robs that credit from Iran, and instead gives the abolishment to Mohammed. Culture vulture if you ask me. Iran will never exist a Muslim country, the roots go far deeper and far reacher that what Islam has ever offered to Iran. Of course Iran holds The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly like any other place, but ever since Islam got spread outside Saudi Arabia every country got headed to a sinking state. That predecessor commander would have never said the truth with that big image of Khomedi never. Only the people speak The Truth! As a Venezuelan have gone thru the same propaganda that people say, "Chavez good", "Chavez holds his balls", etc... Since I have family on both side meaning those that worked for Chavez, and those that held the ground independently all conclude that Chavez held a dictatorship. If one looks, ye shall find, that Chavez even paid the gangs to make sure the votes got secured for himself, by paying the gangs lets say £50 per vote. On top Chavez bribed the public into paying the public for voting for him again roughly the same amount of £50 at that current time. Truth Against The World.

@quicktechtech531826:23 what is the name of the song
@zachrainey6455That woman on the thumpnail is part of the cause of the problem, she and her husband are the most corrupt couple in the government and steal a lot of money. She came only to power by storming the US embassy and her son studied and lives in the US since many many years and she even openly talks about it and says "why not" while she ruined the country and toke the same opportunity away from others, smh.
@mara3572That guy in cafe is telling to the girls careful what use saying 🤦🏻♂️ what a possy and weak he was 😂
@arashm4195TRUMP WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THE RADICAL ISLAMIC ISLAMIC ZEALOTS THAT RUN THAT HELLHOLE, AND THE PEOPLE OF IRAN HAVE NO ONE BETTER THAN THEMSELVES TO THANK FOR THE CALAMITIES THEY ARE FACING TODAY…THEY WANTED RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS TO RUN THEIR COUNTRY…THEY OVERTHREW THEIR ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT THAT WAS FARRRR SUPERIOR AND HAD VISION FOR THEIR COUNTRY NOW THEY ARE A TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP….THEY SHOULD HAVE GAVE THE SHAH A SECOND CHANCE WHEN HE ASKED THEM TOO NOW THEY CANT EVEN GET BASIC NECESSITIES LIKE MEDICINE!! SMH 🤦🏾♂️

@lelz0394Thank you, Vice for making this incredible documentary about Iran. And also a huge thank you to all of the crew who were involved.
I am headed to Iran in 5 days and this is a major source of inspiration.
We used to drink in public and pray in private… but now we pray in public and drink in private… that says a lot
@andrewoladokunIs it just mere coincidence or are Iranian women very beautiful
@andrewoladokunIran has the largest Jewish population in the Middle East after Israel, Tehran is scattered with Synagogues, Iranians have lived alongside their Jewish compatriots for millennia. Today people of the Jewish faith get twice the representation in the Iranian parliament as compared to the average Muslim Iranian citizen: once as a resident of an Iranian province and once as a member of a religious minority. How can the creators of this film reconcile these facts with their proposition that the Iranian political establishment is Anti-semitic at the core of its political identity?
Being anti apartheid South Africa is not being anti-white, is it? By the same logic, shouldn't being anti Israeli occupation and apartheid not be automatically labelled as antisemitic?
