Iran has been on my visit list for some time - especially so since I've had the Irish passport, but the problem recently has not been with Iran but with the US. We do visit the US frequently, have friends there and I even keep a bike there but - as I understand it anyway - visiting Iran would kick me out of the US waiver system and into the world of visa interviews and explanations. As the US connection is more important I keep postponing heading east in the hope that things might ease.

I have a far greater desire to visit Iran than the USA. How will they know if you have been to Iran on your Irish passport if you go to the USA on your British passport? If they do find out then the result will be to be removed for 5 years fron the waiver system. You can still go there but the time taken to come to a decision can be rather long so foreward planning will be the order of the day.
