Kish, IRNA – An international wind tunnel instructor and examiner Erik Osmanis was surprised by Iran’s progress despite sanctions.

In an exclusive interview with IRNA on Saturday, Osmanis said that his mentality from Iran before his trip to this country was a sanctioned and undeveloped country, but he was surprised by Iran’s progress despite sanctions.

Describing the Kish Wind Tunnel as one of the most modern wind tunnels in the world, he noted that the modern Kish Wind Tunnel and existing infrastructure have the conditions to host international competitions.

Pointing to the media hype over Iran in the world, he said that people in the world should not judge a country by media. “Sometimes the picture of countries published in the global media is not real; the Iranian people are very cultured; to be honest, I was surprised after arriving at Kish Island and observing the existing infrastructure.”

He added that Kish Island was a memorable trip for him, which will make him travel to beautiful Iran again in the near future.

Osmanis, who trained actors such as Henry Coyle as Superman and Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible series, has traveled to Iran’s Kish to teach in an advanced training course on the “Wind Tunnel".

The wind tunnel in Kish is the most modern and biggest "wind tunnel" in the country, which enjoys the latest modern technology.
