How safe is Iran?
Tehran
It's a generally safe place but some neighborhoods are not safe at all Where i live is really safe and beautiful but overall the city is not dangerous for female travelers and I suggest that you have a plan for your stay

Unfortunately, it's not a safe place for a lonely woman. For now that mullahs are running the government, No one is safe here. Bu iran has so many beautiful places and people in other cities. Tehran can be good to visit but when sb is around you.

ZAHRA
Chalus
Chalous is a city that beautifully combines both lush forests and the sea — a perfect blend of greenery and coastline. It’s generally safe from 7 AM to around 10 or 11 PM, but it’s recommended to stay cautious when using public transportation.

It's fine but there is some problems with ur hijab and we have lots of religious people so the may act like strict parents in street about what you wear But not all of them And others are really hospitable and kind

I mean, honestly it is not the best but surely,,, better than new york, Los Angeles, New Orleans, etc. I guess. Some towns and neighborhoods are not safe to walk in at night but some others are cool.
