Everybody stared at me when walked into a hotel (Aktau Kazakhstan) in Jeans & Cowboy boots - the hotel just happened to be hosting the Iran-Kaz National Trade Expo. Over 1000 Iranians... 😳

... THE week that Obama announced the Iran Deal! 🤣

I was one of 3 ‘Yankees’ there 😂
... they were very curious, but I only got hacked once. 😆

Anyway, they are certainly conditioned to not trust us (as we are them), but don’t forget:

In the 50’s we thought so highly of the Iranians that we actually HELPED them start Nuclear Program!

Pre-Mullahs... we viewed them as a budding industrial powerhouse in the middle east!!

We saw them as our economic partners in the region!

The 50’s weren’t that long ago.
Just so we are clear... my visit had nothing to do with the Iranians.

... I think my Kaz host just thought it would be fun to book me at that hotel.
