On February 5, 2024 Wright posted to Instagram images from a recent trip she took to Iran. She had originally included in her post that her trip was "not an endorsement of the government" of Iran, but she later deleted that comment. Her visit included a tour of the building which formerly housed the US Embassy in Tehran, and has been converted into an Anti-American museum.
Iranian actress Setareh Pesyani condemned the government of Iran for allowing Wright into the country, as pornography is illegal in Iran, and could have put Wright at risk for the death penalty. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denied having known of Wright's involvement in pornography at the time that her travel visa was issued.
Wright's visit was condemned by Iranian-American journalist Masih Alinejad who wrote on Twitter that "the women of Iran want be like Rosa Parks and not Whitney Wright". [4]
