I'm a British citizen, but was born in Iran. I haven't been there since 1978 when I was a child. I have an ESTA which is valid until 2017. I checked via the ESTA checker on the US embassy site and it said I am still approved for travel.

But with the new rules being so ambiguous I do not know whether I need a visa or not.

UPDATE

I just spoke to the Washington ESTA line (1-202-344-3710)

I told them my situation. They said that if I had a valid Approved ESTA I could travel on it and didn't need another visa.
