I'm not that adventurous and I am not sure I ever was, but it should be interesting. You will, I hope, give us an account when you return.

In my experience, traveling to regimes with "strong" governments is actually quite safe.
If you make sure not to do anything stupid, you'll be fine.
Just make sure (hope?) that you're not in a position where the government wants to make an example of you.
Our itinerary contains nothing remotely controversial.
We want to see some museums and archaeology sites (all of which are on the main tourist drag)
I want to take a cooking class. Abby wants to meet some local artists.
And there's no way in hell that we're going to talk politics.

Looks like a great deal, and an interesting time to visit.

It used to be my brother's favorite holiday destination... until he got married about 6 years ago.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the new discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!), but “That’s funny…” – Isaac Asimov
The only reason God did not put "Thou shalt mind thine own business" in the Ten Commandments was that He thought that it was too obvious to need stating. - Kenberg

Sounds like a great plan. Whether you are in Iran or on a ski slope, not doing anything stupid is the key. You can be unlucky anywhere, but good sense improves luck by a lot.
