Americans were never like the British or the Soviets for us. Sure, their politicians are equally evil or worse, but some of the American people in Iran did help us progress. It's a shame that our relations with the US has reached this point.

Born in small town Nebraska and somehow dies young in Tabriz.

Amazing where life can take you if you are adventurous.

One important point, he was recognized as an unwanted element by the US government. This man was the true example of a free soul who fought and died for a good reason.
