Formerly (until 1935), Persia. a republic in SW Asia: an Islamic republic since 1979. 53,920,000; ab. 635,000 sq. mi. (1,644,650 sq. km) . Cap.: Tehran.
A country which once ruled half the world. Currently under the dictation of an Islamic government, which is ripping the nation to pieces.
Various terrains, such as mountains, jungles, deserts, grasslands, etc., can be found in Iran without much difficulty. Huge natural gas and oil reserves are probably the reason Iran is still on the Map.
There are people of many races, religions and cultures all around Iran.
All 'n all, great country to spend a vacation in, not the place you want to raise your children.
I just gave you some facts about Iran without starting a war.

I·ran (ĭ-rān', ĭ-rän', ī-rān')Pronounced "ee-rawn," not I ran.

Population: 68,700,000.

A country of southwest Asia. Inhabited since c. 2000 B.C. by Iranian peoples, the region later became the core of the Persian Empire. After being conquered by Alexander the Great and ruled by the Parthian Arsacid dynasty, Persia was reestablished under the Sassanian dynasty (A.D. 224-651) and, after invasions by Arabs (7th century), Turks (10th century), and Mongols (13th-14th centuries), was reestablished again under the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736). The country, officially renamed Iran in 1935, was ruled by the Pahlavi dynasty from 1925 until the ouster of Muhammad Reza Pahlavi (1979) in a revolution led by the most evil man in the world, AKA Ayatollah Khomeini, who established an Islamic republic. Tehran is the capital and the largest city.
Billy: "Wait...ur from I ran er I rain, ain't you?"
Arizu: "Okay, first off-I did not run anywhere. Second-It's impossible for an individual to 'rain.' It's Iran. Get it right. Seriously."

Once a prosporos land and home of the earliest Aryan tribes who later migrated to europe. Has been a hot bed for math, science, astronomy, architecture, philosopy, poetery, medicine and business as long as the Greeks. In-fact, Greeks and Persians shared wealth, territories and army's.

Currently ruled by a puppet regime and a scapegoat for America's huge deficit and loses on the oil market due to the sorry state of the U.S. dollar.
Iran is the second largest exporter of oil in the world and thus has a huge impact on the world market and the U.S. economy.
Iran means 'land of the Aryans' in its ancient indo european language.

A once great nation, crippled by Islam and its backward ape-like belief system. Controlled by a complete cunt of a dictator, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who I can only assume is in league with satan. Given the chance I'd shoot him in the face myself.
