Iranian peoples are those ethnic groups who speak an Iranian language, in which case Iranian is an over-arching term for various peoples and their languages, many of whom share a common descent from a particular branch of the ancient Aryans (Iranians), as discerned from the relationship between their languages, as well as between some of their other inherited core cultural traits. The term is derived from the etymological term Iran which is synonymous with Aryan, and does not have an exclusive meaning that is only applicable to either the state of Iran or the Persian people. The term Iranian or Iranian people is similar, in its usage, to the term Germanic, for example, which includes various peoples who happen to share related Germanic languages such as German, English, and Dutch. This type of usage can be applied in numerous other instances including the Slavic peoples category that includes Russians, Serbo-Croatians, and Poles. Thus, along these lines the Iranian peoples include not only the Persians/Tajiks of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, but also the Pashtuns, Kurds, Ossetians, Baluchis, and other smaller groups.

Iran (i-ran, i-rahn, eye-ran)\n\nRepublic in the Middle East, bordered by Armenia, the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan to the north; Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east; the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf to the south; and Iraq and Turkey to the west. Its capital and largest city is Teheran. \n\n\nCore of the ancient Persian Empire, Iran was known as Persia until 1935.\nThe United States supported the regime of the shah (king) Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who was forced by popular opposition to leave the country in 1979.\nAyatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ruled from 1979 until his death in 1989, imposing strict Islamic law.\nIn 1979, Iranian militants attacked the U.S. embassy and seized hostages, including sixty-two Americans, who were held until 1981.\nIraq unsuccessfully invaded Iran in 1980.\nThe Iranian government was widely believed to have controlled the taking of U. S. hostages in Lebanon. (See Iran-Contra affair.)\nThe 1990s saw some moderating elements emerge to challenge the conservative heirs to Khomeini.

Iran is a theocracy. Their religious leaders are also their political leaders. Although the people themselves are very westerniazed, their leaders are not which leads to a lot of discontent within the people. They are about 10 years away from having a working nuclear program, but are a nuclear threat. Don't know what else you want to know without you asking specifics, but that was some random stuff.

Aryan.\nMost Iranians (as a nationality) are Persians by ethnicity. And Persians belong to the Aryan race ... hence the name Iran, meaning land of the Aryans.

A long, fantastic history...mucked up by the British when they took over the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire (after WW1, I think?) and installed a regency called the Shah.  Shia Islam predominates and the country is (effectively) run on religious grounds by a council of Ayatollahs.  It has a President who is insensitive to the outside world's viewpoint (to put it mildly) and it is currently awaiting the outcome of the UN Security Council's deliberation on its reluctance to allow the Atomic Energy Authority full and free access to its nuclear program, ostensibly for power.  Those who are mistrustful of it reckon that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons which, given it's current President's comments on Israel, is understandable if (possibly) incorrect.\n\nDo I get Best Answer?

if your question is Who is the president of Iran then the answer is "Mr. Ahmedinijad"\n\nif it is what is the president of Iran? \nPresident of Iran is leader of constitutionally elected assembly of Iran called Shura through direct voting by the people of Iran. He has balls to speak boldly and this is what not so preferred by the idiotic faces of US and Israeli leaders.

Iran is rebellious and cool. Iraq is a war zone and Israel is sadly in trouble. They are not the same country! Iraq are arabs, Israel jews and Iran muslim and persian.

Iran is safe for any travellers from any part of the world.\nA little disturbance caused in the region by other countries has made it seem like Iran is not safe for its own people which is not true. WElCOME to IRAN.

I don't know much about it except what's in the media. I know they're on Israel and the USA's sh*t list right now. I have heard that the Iranians are very educated people and for being a country in the middle east, Iran is pretty well to do. When I was about 12 years old I had a pen pal from Iran who wrote in perfect English and sent me beautiful postcards from there. The mail was always ripped open before it got delivered to me though like someone was checking it. I have nothing against the Iranian people or their country. My experience with the ones I met have been very pleasant.

First let me state that I am somewhat weary aboout nuclear power as an enrgy source because it is a technology in its infancy and a mistake creates chernobyls. As far as Iran, it is tough to say that some can have nuclear power and others can't. It's tougher to see who decides that and how it would be enforced. Also, what is Iran? By that i mean who has the reigns over the nuclear power. Like when someone says the USA, do they mean the 300 million people who live here and are generally good people or does it mean bush, cheney and rumsfeld who seem so loaded with personal agendas that they no longer care whether you know they are lying or not so long as enough people follow along or at least give the impression that people are follwing along.

America\nBoth of them is agressive and threatening world peace.\nHowever, America has will and means to make it real. \nActually, it is already making it. It is not Iran that is in war today.
