Agree with answer number 2. His son lives in the USA and is very active in promoting Persia, passive resistance, and supports a democratic revolution in Iran.

Iran borders Armenia, Azerbaijan (including its Nakhichevan exclave), and Turkmenistan to the north, Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east, and Turkey and Iraq to the west. In addition, it borders the Persian Gulf, across which lie Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Shi'a Islam is the official state religion.\n\nThroughout history, Iran has been of great geostrategic importance due to its central location in Eurasia. Iran is a member and co-founder of the United Nations, the OIC, and OPEC. Iran is also significant in international politics on account of its large supply of petroleum and other resources. The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan and literally means "Land of the Aryans."\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Name \n2 History \n3 Politics \n3.1 The Supreme Leader \n3.2 Executive \n3.3 Parliament (The Majles) \n3.4 Judiciary \n3.5 Assembly of Experts \n3.6 Council of Guardians \n3.7 Expediency Council \n3.8 City and Village Councils \n4 Provinces \n5 Geography and climate \n6 Economy \n7 Demographics \n8 Major cities \n9 Culture \n10 See also \n11 References \n12 External links \n12.1 Government \n12.2 Other \n \n\n\n[edit]\nName\nMain article: Iran naming dispute \n \nIn antiquity, the names Ariana and Persis were used to describe the region, as exhibited on this world map by Eratosthenes (c. 200 BC).In former ages, the names Ariana and Persis were used to describe the region which is today known as the Iranian plateau. The earliest Iranian reference to the word (airya/arya/aryana etc), however, predates the Iranian prophet Zoroaster (est. anywhere between 1000 to 7000 BC.) and is attested in non-Gathic Avesta; it appears as airya, meaning noble/spiritual/elevated; as airya dainhava (Yt.8.36, 52) meaning the land of the Aryans; and as airyana vaejah, the original land of the Aryans. This term, it seems, was adopted in remote antiquity by Iranians as their national identity [2]; hence other peoples were called Anairya and later Aniranian, meaning un-aryan or non-Aryan, probably a derogatory racial designation.\n\nDuring the Achaemenid dynasty (550-330 BC), the Persian people called their provincial homeland Pārsa, the Old Persian name for Cyrus the Great's kingdom which belonged to the Persian tribe of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranians and which can still be found in the term Pars or Fars as part of the heartland of Iran and for example in the map by Eratosthenes and other historical or modern maps.\n\nHowever, the country as a whole was called Aryanam. The word Ariya, noble/spiritual/elevated, is attested in the Inscriptions of Darius the Great and his son, Xerxes; it is used both as a linguistic and a racial designation as evident as Darius refers to this at the Behistun inscription (DBiv.89), which is written

It didn't exist. It was founded in 762 by the Abbasid caliph Mansur. Before that the region was controlled by Persia. The Sassanid capital of Ctesiphon was situated close to Baghdad.

I may modify this later, but my recall is an older Iranian Mohammud Mossadegh was a nationalist who supported nationalizing their oil.  He was elected president or whatever by the governing body - not by the popular vote.  It became a complicated story longer than I want to recall here, but the U.S. gov. did it's usually clumsy job of interfering in Iran's politics with the result of the usual Bad American pr job.  Ultimately, though, the Shah ended up back in power by a series of haphazard steps.  The story is more completely told in Daniel Yergin's book, The Prize, on the history of oil.  The book was published in 1992, but I believe it is still in print in paper. I have a hardbound edition that I read several years ago.

I've been there several times. Its an interesting place with loads of history, lovely scenery and pleasant, friendly people. \n\nRight now I wish those pleasant and friendly people would start questioning whether they are being well led. It would be a tragedy for a country with the legacy of Persia to become the next tragic victim of the World's bully, George Bush. But that's the way you're going and it is going to be very nasty. \n\nPlease, do what you can to make your own leaders act a little more reasonably! This has to be a two-way thing.

News Max is excellent, also "The weekly Standard" magazine. Are you serious or are you joking? I hope so much Iran gets rid of their President and gets a leader that lets Iranians be free. I went all thru high school in the 60's with an Iranian boy named Sam and that was his prayer back then. I sure liked that boy and his family.

Iran, also called Persia, is a Middle Eastern country located in Western Asia. Northern Iran is also a part of the Causauses. It borders Armenia, Azerbaijan (including its Nakhichevan exclave), and Turkmenistan to the north, Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east, and Turkey and Iraq to the west. In addition, it borders the Persian Gulf across which lie Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

It's pretty tough to spell, so that's probably why you didn't get any results.  It is a person and he was the politcal and spiritual leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.  Check the link below for a lot of additional information.\n\nThe full name is: Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini or just Ayatollah Khomeini

uh oh ... i wish no one would've got me started on that!! See the following excerpts from a brilliant article written by one bright Dr. Kaveh Farrokh, courtesy of whom I am cutting and pasting the following from the ghandchi.com website. I would suggest anyone who's seen the movie to read the fuul article at http://www.ghandchi.com/iranscope/Anthology/KavehFarrokh/farrokh6.htm : \n\n\n"Despite excellent reviews of his book by critics and scholars, Dr. Fox does not understand the military of ancient Persia. A typographical shot of the battle of Gaugamela, shows the Greeks advancing in ordered and disciplined ranks. In contrast, the armies of Darius III are shown as little better than an amorphous mob. This is a false image of the Achaemenid army. The Achaemenids used drums and musical instruments to direct the marching tactics of their troops in battle. Second, the Achaemeneans used the decimal system, which was in fact, unknown to the Greeks of the period. Persian units were formed in legions of 10, 100 or 1000 or 10,000. A typical term was "Hezar-Patesh" (roughly equivalent to "leader of a thousand men"). \nIn addition, the Persians had developed a sophisticated system of heraldry and their troops wore standard uniforms. The Greeks were certainly excellent fighters and were thoroughly organized, but this does not mean that the Persians were not. At the time, the Greeks were militarily superior with respect to armaments, tactics and military training. \nThis military imbalance changed with the coming of the Parthian and Sassanian cavalry. The Iranian Savaran (elite Cavalry) successfully halted and defeated many of the later Greek-Hoplite inspired Roman armies. Many Romans attempted to imitate Alexander and failed against Persia. These include Marcus Lucinius Crassus at Carrhae, Marc Antony at Tabriz (where he failed twice), Gordian III at Mesiche, Phillip the Arab near modern Syria, Valerian at Barbablissos, and Julian the Apostate in Mesopotamia. I personally doubt that Hollywood will recreate these spectacular Roman defeats as these will challenge contemporary western notions of the Alexandrian legacy. In addition, many Iranians today are unaware of the proud legacy of the Parthian and Sassanian Savaran."\n...\n"The portrayal of ancient Iranians is outright comical, if not insulting.  The inaccurate Hollywood portrayal of Iranians is exemplified by the selection of Rosario Dawson ( http://www.lostfocus.de/archives/rosario_dawson.jpg ), a very talented, beautiful and intelligent black actress, to star as Roxanna, an ancient Iranian queen from Soghdia-Bactria. Roxanna was not black, anymore than Alexander was Scandinavian. Having Rosario Dawson portrayed as Roxanna makes as much sense as having Lucy Liu, an Asian-American, portraying Queen Victoria of Great Britain. \nThe term Roxanna is derived from Old Iranian "Rokh-shwan" or "face (Ruksh) - fair skinned-shiny (shwan)". Roxanna was related to a North Iranian tribe known later as the Sarmatians, the remnants who survive in the Caucasus and Russia as the Ossetians (ancient Alans or Ard-Alans) \nRoman sources such as Pliny repeatedly describe ancient North Iranian peoples such as the Alans and Seres as "…flaxen (blonde) haired blue eyed nomads…" (see Wilcox, p.19). Rosario Dawson does not fit the description of an ancient Iranian woman, especially from Northern Iranian stock. The Ossetians of today, descendants of ancient Northern Iranians, predominantly resemble northern Iranians and Europeans and speak an archaic Iranian language (like the Avesta of the Zoroastrians). Blondism is very common among these descendants of ancient North Iranians in cities such as Beslan and Vladikafkaz. It can be argued that Roxanna was a brunette, however, she was of Northern Iranian stock, which would still make her very different from actress Rosario Dawson. \nThere are plenty of talented actresses of Iranian descent i

Known as Persia until 1935, Iran became an Islamic republic in 1979 after the ruling monarchy was overthrown and the shah was forced into exile. Conservative clerical forces established a theocratic system of government with ultimate political authority nominally vested in a learned religious scholar. Iranian-US relations have been strained since a group of Iranian students seized the US Embassy in Tehran on 4 November 1979 and held it until 20 January 1981. During 1980-88, Iran fought a bloody, indecisive war with Iraq that eventually expanded into the Persian Gulf and led to clashes between US Navy and Iranian military forces between 1987-1988. Iran has been designated a state sponsor of terrorism for its activities in Lebanon and elsewhere in the world and remains subject to US economic sanctions and export controls because of its continued involvement. Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.
