Report From Iran: Cultural heritage and modernity

Tuesday September 6, 2005
Steve Zind

Tehran, Iran



In a special Report from Iran, VPR's Steve Zind uses his background to bring us up to date on important developments in this country and how they affect the United States, from the new president to controversy over nuclear research to the mix of religion and politics.

At the end of his two-week trip to Iran, Steve Zind tells VPR's Steve Delaney he is left with the impression that the country of his ancestors is a land in which cultural heritage is often in conflict with modernity.
