Sounds like you have some awesome parents, and family too!
Just a quick question though. You said your Dutch friend cannot enter the US because his father is Iranian. Does this mean that if you have an Iranian parent you cannot visit at all, even if you werent born there or have never been?? My mother is Iranian so I'm quite curious

Iran has a citizenship that is relatively easy to get[1] and relatively hard to renounce.

But apparently it's only passed on by the father (outside the country that is), so you wouldn't be affected.

If you have an Iranian parent you are automatically granted Iranian citizenship.
