Why do people think it's unsafe to visit Iran?

The British Foreign Office, advise against all but non-essential travel there, and advise against travel all together to large parts of it.

The US State Department simply advises do not travel there at all. In fact their advice includes 'make a will' if you disregard their warning.

Is there even a US diplomatic or consular presence in Iran at all? If you get in trouble, you are on your own, or maybe the Swiss will help you.
