Actually, from what I've read in many current books and articles about Iran, the general Iranian public is quite friendly to visiting Americans and they will actively communicate with such visitors if they meet them on the streets in Iran...even to the extent that they will invite such strangers into their homes.

I'm pretty sure the same could not be said of many officials in the Iranian government itself.
