Ali Kazemi Americans are becoming more and more educated about Iran and the Iranian people. In general, Americans have learned that the Iranian people are the most kind, most hospitable people in the world. Of course there are still some Americans who don't understand that Arabs and Iranians are completely different cultures...that's so sad. All in all, we mostly agree that both American and Iranian politicians are the problem, not the people. And yes, we should do the same thing as this video in reverse. I'd like to know what Americans have to say on camera

I went in iran for a motorbike trip, if i'm here i must say thank you to the iranians meet during my trip.If you keep distance from the pakistan/afghanistan border, for obviously reason, nothing happen you can only broken a tire, but be sure that someone will help you.. I meet Afghanistan people during my trip and i meet fantastics people. From my side there aren't dangerous country but only dangerous people, i never meet dangerous people in Iran policeman too and army too so friendly, no body left from your bike nothing. The first reasone for go in Iran it's the people and the landscape..

When was the last time you were in Iran?

Good job my brothers and sisters in Iran!

Iranians are the best Salam from Armenia

See american people, the iranians are not that scary as you think. Yes we have some issues with politics inside our country (something those people interviewed of course couldn't say) but we are pretty peaceful : "live, let live" :D

What these iranians are saying is true, but they might as well be talking to their own government too because the iranian government basically does what they accuse us of doing as well

I'd say that if you put an open mic in most places in the world outside the US, the answers will end up being the same. As a Brazilian, I agree with everything those people said. Live and let live.

I love the Iranian people. We should be friends.

It is wrong notion that Iranians are hostile people. It is not true. I am Indian from Austria and recently visited Iran. Iran is very civilized and friendly people.

I am glad to see the iranian people are talking to the american people ........ USA people talk with IRAN people and pretty soon no more war mongering ....... just peace .... ( Iranian PEOPLE +American PEOPLE = great friends) ----- AMERICA LOVES IRAN ----- :-) THIS is the first step to a peaceful world......... not bombs and drones

One day the barriers will come down. One day Americans and Iranians will be able to see each other face to face and meet as friends, not as foes. One day we will have a strong trading relationship, strong cultural ties, and a great affection for each other. I love the Iranian people because I know they are a good and decent people with a rich heritage. We can be friends and work towards the universal good of man.

"AMERICA LIVE AND LET LIVE ! That's all ... thank you so much." I think you are right mom.....

Tell me are they refering too Sadam,vietkong,taliban or nazi's if they are comparing it to us?

How refreshing to see the Iranians as real people. I'm fed up with Iran bashing!

"Iranians are the most civilized people" she says as chaotic traffic amongst all the cars takes place on the street behind her. Iran leads the world in traffic-related fatalities.

You wish!!

It because you may not know how Iranians look like. People in video were all regular Iranians, who you can see in Tehran's streets.

Its nice to see Obama finally make ONE good decision. He decided to listen to Ron Paul and TALK to our enemies. Who knows, we may find out they aren't our enemies after all?

No problem. The problem is we all have an image about other people which we never have an opportunity to see them, and some times this image is far away from the truth. But the good news is we all can learn about different cultures and people. I may say that people who know English may were more likely to participate in this interview. Also with the age and the back packs, I can say some are university students. :)

Although English and Arabic are not official languages of Iran, they are both taught in schools along side Farsi (the official language of Iran). To answer your second question; Iran has always welcomed foreign journalists and tourists. I believe the reporter is a Iranian citizen and just reporting for CNN but don't quote me on this. We should be all hopeful to get back on track after the 8 years of speed bumps with the election of Iran's new president Hassan Rouhani.

Oil was first discovered and developed in Iran by European businessmen, not by Iranians. Without the resource Iran would be less developed than Afghanistan right now. And despite that, it's still completely dependent on Oil today and hasn't diversified its economy AT ALL.

Loving is a strong word. Appreciate? maybe, like is good. But Love? Love is a very special word and should be reserved for special occasions. p.s. Most Estadounidenses are good and lovable, but wow! Check out what's happening now in Florida or Texas...or Missisippi, or Alabama..or Georgia.

id say its governments vs governments vs the people vs themselves

never. didn't say anything that required me to be in Iran. Everything i quoted was taken from people in the video.

NOT ALL but many if not MOST Iranians have nothing against the US and would love nothing more than to be friends with Americans. Iranians generally love American culture, regardless of their opinions on US foreign policy.

Iranian R peaceful like other people in aall over the world....we love people in other countries specially in US :)

if politics can't connect. Then the people can

It would be the obligation of that Iranian to study the area he or she is visiting.

Hey Salman jaan, I think you are missing the point. These people were asked to speak on the US and US foreign policy, not on Iran's domestic issues. I think most Iranians, Iranian-Americans, and others understand the issues going on within Iran itself, but are trying to make a different point within this video. The fact that they had one guy speaking with a heavy American accent was weird, but the rest was fairly accurate as many 'urban Iranians' speak Persian and English now. :)

Some of them knows more about America politicians then Americans do....

Google CNN open mic Tehran, you will find the CNN version.

They got some gorgeous women over there..

You're very funny, you know that. Iranians learn to speak English starting from primary school and this continues until the end of secondary school. Also, a lot of well-to-do Iranians have people to tutor them in English and some Iranians have relatives who live in USA, Australia, UK and other countries who they can practice English with. Yes, this is skewed, but that's more to do with the small sample size than anything else.

I love the Persian people. I have only known a few, but they were good people, their culture is breathtaking, their architecture magnificent, and their cuisine is delicious. It is absurd and inhumane that an elite few in charge of my country can threaten war on such a wonderful culture for such crass material gains.

hey the question was about US, and they answered about US. our problem with our government doesn't mean that we ignore the foreigners violence against us.

I know people from Iran and I have friends from Iran,its the gouverment not the people . I live in Canada .

Beside Afghanistan, Tajikestan and a few other countries, we iranian have two nations that will, can and are our friends, those nations are: Israelians and americans!

long live IRAN :-D

They were all Iranian What are you talking about ?

Ok Thats your opinion but as im Iranian i say they are ordinary people ,if you walk in Tehran you will see loads of them ;) respect

What that one lady said is too true. Why is the American government judging other countries on their nuclear policies, when they have so many nukes themselves? If the US wants to set an example, they should destroy their nukes first. I understand that this would be a monumental task, and the government would feel unarmed without them, but it would be a great step for the US winning back public opinion.

I hadn't heard President Rouhani condemning iran govt for Neda 's death, and the crushing of 2009 Iran's green movement with an iron boot
