A friend went to North Korea on an organised tour, which then made going to the USA for another friend’s wedding problematic…But he made it.
 
3 out of the 4 I will most likely never get to as they are on a list that I need to get permission to travel to and if approved I still need to sign waivers to the effect that travel is at my own risk. I will not get into the detail but it is not hard to work out.
That is what retirement is for!
You can also add Cuba and Sudan to the list and go visit those places as well.

indeed a mate went to Iran and needed a lawyer to get a USA Visa - $6k and 18 months later.
Was the mate in some particular line of work? I went to Iran and subsequently had to get a US B1/B2 Visa. PITA but I got it and at the consulate which you have to go for an interview, they were completely disinterested in the reason I was applying for a Visa rather than getting an ESTA.
