TEHRAN, Iran — Getting to know Iran is a difficult task that might take a foreigner dozens of years without going anywhere. As a former Arab diplomat who served as his country’s ambassador to Tehran once told me, someone needs 20 years until he or she can dare say, "I might know."
This diplomat and his colleagues were in direct connection with Iran’s Foreign Ministry, the country’s bridge to the world, the place where the “built-in” diplomacy of the Iranian people is well reflected.
