@shani, the game's director has Iranian heritage and spent his childhood there during the revolution...
Allowing characters to have American accents/speak english in a setting where they normally wouldn't is unfortunate, but common across a number of mediums. I wish it weren't the case, but it makes these works more accessibly to western audiences. It's not enough to completely discount this game as "inauthentic" though, and people really should give meaningful games like this a shot.
