Anwar Luz, New Lines, How Two Months at an Iranian Seminary Changed My Life, 28 Feb 2023 “I was in this isolated and authoritarian institution because I had been invited by the Iranian government as part of a delegation of Latin American religious students. It was not a shady deal, nor was it secret in any way: Iran has good relationships with several Latin American governments and operates openly in these countries. The course even had a Facebook page, where Iranian teachers promoted the regime’s ideology through hundreds of videos and daily reminders in excellent Spanish, directed mostly toward Muslim converts native to South America, like me.”
