A lot will have to happen globally and personally before the stars would align.

I can just generally say that Iran is a very multilayered, controversial country. There are so many contrasts and controversies that question themselves within whole different layers. It's not an easy place to wrap up in one answer or one question. It's a very multicultural, multiethnic place.

I'm always surprised when I read a story that's reported from a great distance.

I just found that the knowledge of ordinary Americans about Iran is very small - which is totally expected.

I'm planning on how I want to tell my own story. I feel like my situation and my experiences are unique in some ways.

I think that I'm a really optimistic person.
