Over the past weeks and months, Iran has descended into chaos. From the downing of a passenger jet, to the assasination of a top general, and now one of the world's largest Coronavirus outbreaks, life in the Islamic Republic is facing its toughest challenges since it was founded in 1979. Hosted by VICE founder Suroosh Alvi, the standalone special offers an indelible account of Iranian society, from hipsters to hostage takers, and from top lawmakers to one of the country’s heaviest metal bands. With exclusive access to militant leaders, Iran's tourist hotspots, and the old US embassy in downtown Tehran, The VICE Guide to Iran is an intimate portrait of a nation on the brink.
