Iranian here. Hezbollah may be the most hated group before the eyes of most Iranians. If you followed the news in 09, one of the main demands of protesters was for the government to stop giving money away to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Syrian government. Sadly however, we know how that all ended.

Iranian living in Canada ATM. Depends on which part of the country you are interested in visiting. I personally lived in the north where the weather was always mild and enjoyable. So if you are into hiking and camping on green mountains I would stay mid spring. Actually, early spring or mid fall are probably two of the best times to visit Iran. I don't assume cities like Shiraz, Yazd, Kermanshah, Isfihan and so on are too hot or cold over that time.

I may disagree with you on this one. When I left Iran few years ago, I had a 1 Mbps internet subscription. It is not comparable to the speed you get in the rest of the world, but it wasn't 56 Kbps either. Those friends of mine who I am still in contact with told me a while ago they have 4 Mbps subscriptions, and apparently price is affordable for them too since they are definitely on the lower of the middle class. This is in the north however. I was under the impression that things would have been better off in Tehran.

I can't think a scenario where you would be treated with hostility from people Iran, no matter where you are from; be Israeli, Saudi, or Malaysian.

Yes I was in Tehran, Iran at the time. I am well aware of the requests that the protesters were making. And I am also well aware of how Hezbollah has become a tool for the government to oppress people. Hezbollah doesn't enjoy widespread support, it enjoys unlimited funding from the government and support of those who benefit from such a hardliner group existing in Iran.
