Iranian public life has now appeared in public over the past 48 hours or so, and he hasn't.
Absolutely free to talk to anyone.
And often they won't have quite big arguments.
I mean, there was one discussion with a cleric in the streets today operating through a translator.
And I don't know, for the hell of it, I just started asking him about, you know, why do you still think you need to enrich uranium?
What's the point of it?
You know, think about all the damage it's doing to your country.
He got quite heated and accused me of lying.
And I just sat down asking questions.
And we had to pull out of that conversation.
It's almost the only conversation I've had where it's gone slightly wrong.
I mean, afterwards, we all shook hands and it was fine, but there were people starting to throw water and get cross.
There is a kind of thirst for exchange and communication.
People are incredibly friendly.
I just go into shops, talk to people.
If I hear the words, welcome to Iran again, I will go mad.
They're very keen that we convey a real impression of what they regard Iran as.
And there's lots of different opinions in Tehran.
You meet people who say they didn't really have a great affection for the government or for Khomeini personally, but they do feel an affection and love for their country.
And that's a different emotion.
