TEHRAN -- Just a few months ago, travelers from Europe and Australia would sit and sip tea with young locals in the garden of a hostel in central Tehran. Now, the See You in Iran Cultural House is eerily quiet.
"All our rooms have been empty in the past few days," Navid Yousefian, the hostel director, told the Nikkei Asian Review. "Since November, our monthly earnings have declined by 80%."
