Iran Safe for American Tourist?
My last name is Israel. Will this cause me problems if I visit Iran as a tourist?

Also, I have seen the Iranian travel agency key2persia.com recommended on these forums. Does anyone have any experience with the agency upperpersia.com?

I see no issue. I share surnames with the President of Israel and not once experienced any trouble as a US citizen.

Read here about my experience.

I've seen some positive reviews on LP for Upperpersia. I wouldn't feel unsafe at all as I've had several friends who've visited and enjoyed their time in Iran.
