I went to college with several Iranian students. They were bright, willing to learn and good study partners. Not sure if they returned home, but they definitely had something to contribute. Most of them were engineering students.

Later in life, I had Iranian friends, my kids sitter was Iranian, loved them bunches. I worry about their family though, whether they went back to Iran.

They are a very resourceful group, and will
find a way to overcome this situation.
