My wife and I travelled though Iran in 2009 and 2010. As a white English couple (on 2 motorcycles) it is far from an easy place to travel, with respect to the Police/Military! There are large parts of the country you will have escorts which are a real pain in the arse (unlike Pakistan where the escorts are great if a little slow  and all this was before the current problems.
I'm pretty sure I would go if I was in you position now (assuming you can get a visa, which I doubt!)
On the other side of the Rial the general public are great, friendly and helpful.
How many countries would you visit before random strangers take you out for dinner or come over to you when you are sat on a kerb at a fuel station offering you fresh fruit from there weekly shopping 
It is sure unlike any other of the countries I've visited.
