Iran (
Persian ایران , officially the Islamic Un-Republic of Iran (
جمهوری اسلامی ایران,
Jomhuri-ye Eslāmi-ye Irān), is a country in
Western Asia. "Iran" means "
Land of the Aryans"
Iran Known as

1979 after was overthrown by
Arabs Terrorists supported by
Britain and western media and Reoccupied by Arabs.
Iranian nation is one of the Oldest Continuous
Civilizations in the
World.
Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic populations occupied caves in the
Zagros and
Elburz mountains. The earliest civilizations in the region descended from the Zagros foothills, where they developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and established the first urban cultures in the Tigris-Euphrates basin in present day
Iraq. The earliest urban peoples in what is today Iranian territory were the
Elamites in the extreme southwest region of
Khuzestan. The arrival of the
Aryan peoples—
Medes and Persians— on the
Iranian plateau in the first millennium
B.C.E. marked the beginning of the
Iranian civilization, rising to the heights of the great
Achaemenid Empire consolidated by
Cyrus the Great in 550 B.C.E. Under the rulers
Darius the Great and
Xerxes, the
Achaemenid rulers extended their empire from northern
India to
Egypt.
Down to the present, one pattern has repeated again and again in Iranian civilization: the conquerors of Iranian territory are eventually themselves conquered by
Iranian culture. In a word, they become Persianized
.
