In Tehran and Esfahan some people have developed a nice scam. They pretend to be police, stopping tourists demanding to see their passport. If they get it, they will be gone in a moment. In tehran i was stopped by a patrol of three siviliandressed men in a paykan. The leader showed me an ordinary ID card saying he was poliuce, demanding to get my passport as he asked if i had heroine or hasjis. I responded "let us go to the nearest uniformed police". Then they disappeared.

if you are a tourist,there is no particular danger in tehran,and anyway iran is very very very very very very very less dangerous than morocco or tunisia,where all the tourists go without fear.According to me ,it is better not to walk in the streets of tehran if you are wearing a tee-shirt'long life to israel' or a shirt all written in hebrew.

Be careful in the traffic! Don't even think about driving a car yourself, and use extreme care when crossing a street. Driver's mostly have only to pay a fine if they run over somebody.
