I realize your post is somewhat old, but I want to respond anyway because I have a lot of experience with Iranian men all over the mid east and N Africa and maybe I can be helpful to the other readers. From my experience, your Iranian man is lying to you, about his mother, most likely he doesn't think you are good enough for him or his mother wants him to marry Iranian girls and he doesn't want to hurt your feelings Some Iranian men marry white girls, but many of the have pressure from their parents to keep the Iranian culture, by marrying Iranian woman.

Many Iranian men are more attracted to blonde haired fair skined woman but a majority end up marrying American or western woman. There are good and bad Iranian men, I have seen both sides, the western Iranian who wants a western bride and the other who wants to play with us and marry Iranian. Trust me if he wants you, he will make you know it, if you feel something is not right, it isn't... Keep in mind they will never come out and say what they really think so take care of your own heart.
