Iran (/aɪˈræn/ or i/ɪˈrɑːn/;Persian: Irān – ایران [ʔiːˈɾɒːn]), also known as Persia (/ˈpɜːrʒə/ or /ˈpɜːrʃə/), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran (جمهوری اسلامی ایران – Jomhuri ye Eslāmi ye Irān [d͡ʒomhuːˌɾije eslɒːˌmije ʔiːˈɾɒːn]), is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered to the northwest by Armenia, the de facto Nagorno-Karabakh, and Azerbaijan; with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian Sea; to the northeast by Turkmenistan; to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest country in the Middle East and the 18th-largest in the world. With 78.4 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th-most-populous country. It is the only country that has both a Caspian Sea and an Indian Ocean coastline. Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran History in 4 minutes, from 3000 BC to Present Historical Data: GeaCron Music: Ancient Sounds - Rahim Alhaj Animation and Production: Goudarz Eghtedari “5000 years History of Iran in 4 minutes” shows how governments and powers come and go in such a way as if they had never been there. Besides the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf (which actually shrunk around 600 BC), nothing was stable within what we now know as Iran or Persia. That brings the doubt that whether Nationalism plays only in hands of powers. Looking at the images as they dissolve in another century’s reality one can ask what made us, the Iranian, different than those who lived and still live in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Azerbaijan, and how could we even fight the Iraqis in 8 years of bloody war not withstanding our millennial j...
.Carter Sold Out Iran 1977-1978 Americans have been hearing for several years about potential war with Iran. For instance, on September 17, 2006, Time magazine reported, "The U.S. would have to consider military action long before Iran had an actual bomb." On October 10, under the heading "A Chilling Preview of War," Time warned: "As Iran continues to enrich uranium, the U.S. military has issued a 'Prepare to Deploy' order." In September 2007, US News & World Report stated: "Amid deepening frustration with Iran, calls for shifting Bush administration policy toward military strikes or other stronger actions are intensifying." And in June 2008, President-to-be Barack Obama declared: "The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat." However, sup...

THE EXCEPTIONAL DISCOVERY: the body of King Anunnaki for 12,000 years completely intact This discovery is done completely by chance in the spring of 2008, and if we know happened is no doubt thanks to the Russian media, and television premsa. This occurs in Kurdistan, Iran, a country rather closed to the world, at least in the Western world, but it has good relations with Russia. Although hidden until today, 2015, we managed to know by what has published the Russian press (thanks Google Translator), that the discovery occurs in a work, when digging the ground to make the foundations of a house. Then appear a mausoleum containing three coffins, and after more concise excavations, a layer of ground containing the remains of an ancient civilization and the ruins of a city. By the stratum in...
The Great Satan still sells in Iran. Even after decades of diplomatic estrangement and tightening economic sanctions, American products manage to find their way into the Iranian marketplace. The routes are varied: back channel exporters, licensing workarounds and straightforward trade for goods not covered by the U.S. embargoes over Iran's nuclear programme. It offers lessons in the immense difficulties facing Western attempts to isolate Iran's economy, which has deepening trade links with Asia where distributors serve as middlemen to funnel U.S. and other goods to Iranian merchants. But sanctions are also battering Iran's currency and driving up costs for all imports, which could increase domestic pressures on Iran's ruling system. Although the number of Made-in-America items in Ir...

1500년의 인연...다시 꽃피는 한국과 이란의 문화 교류 What may come as a surprise... is South Korea and Iran's long-running relationship... Cultural exchanges date back to the Three Kingdoms era, more than fifteen-hundred years ago... by way of the Silk Road. Now, through the Korean Wave, the two countries have entered a new phase in cultural exchanges. Lee Minyoung has this report. A dark blue glass found in the Cheonmachong Tomb, one of Silla's royal tombs unearthed in Gyeongju. An exotic golden sword found in Gyerim-ro, a street also located in Gyeongju. These are all relics that are presumed to be sent to Silla from ancient Iran or Persia through the Silk Road. It was only the Koryeo Dynasty during King HyeonJong's reign when trade with Persia was officially recorded in Korean history. But in ac...
Iran – formerly Persia - is the biggest country of the Middle East.

My name's Michael and I'm the Marketing Manager for Wild Frontiers. I'm here at the magnificent site of Persepolis in Iran. I've been in Iran for two weeks now and so far I've been enchanted by this fascinating country. CITIES The capital Tehran is most people's starting point, and in this busy city you can see ostentatious ornaments from the royal household in the crown jewels museum, and wander around the Shah's old residence, Golestan Palace. Just north of Tehran you can visit the Elburz Mountains for skiing in the winter or hiking in the summer. But the real highlights lie elsewhere. In the off-the-beaten-track city of Yazd you'll find a cityscape dotted with the ingenious wind tunnels -- which could be described as the world's first air-conditioning system - the ancient Zoroastria...
Travel video about destination Iran. Iran, formerly known as Persia, is a land of magical splendour, ancient architecture and Oriental hospitality. Tehran has been the capital of the Persian Empire since 1795. Founded by Mohammed Aga Khan it is a vibrant place that ranks among the most densely populated cities on Earth. Its biggest transformation in its recent history was due to religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeyni, who in 1979 established the Iranian Republic, a theocracy within the teachings of the Koran. The Saad-Abad Palace complex was the first summer residence of the Qadjarian kings. Following several extensions, from the 1920’s eighteen palaces were used by Reza Shah Pahlevi and his family. The city of Kashan prospered under the Safavid, Shah Abbas The First, who designed the Bagh...

Travel video about destination Shiraz in Iran. The Koran Gate leads to the city of Shiraz, a city of love, roses and poetry that is located in the south of the Iranian Highlands.

Travel video about destination Esfahan in Iran. With its historic centre, Esfahan is situated on the banks of the Zayandeh Rud River and is a gem of ancient Persia. In the centre of the historic city centre is the modest Pillar Halls Mosque which is thought to have been built above a fire temple. In around 1087, Seljuk vizier, Nizam Ol-Molk, had the pillar hall and its many small brick domes, completed. Due to a fire lit by the Assassins in 1121 A.D., the original mosque was destroyed. Following the death of Shah Abbas, around thirty thousand Christian Armenians settled in the Julfa district where they built the Savior Cathedral. Its interior features the history of the Christianisation of Armenia that is depicted on several illustrated panels created by the Holy Gregor. The grandeur of...

Travel video about destination Yazd in Iran. The ancient desert city of Yazd is located within the centre of the State Of Iran and is one of the country’s oldest cities, set like a string of pearls along the Kavir coast. It is also a centre for the followers of the Zarathustra faith, the pious predecessors of Islam who fled to the city to escape Arab persecution. A small square is situated in the middle of the Old Town district of Fahadan, flanked by historic buildings such as a prison where, according to legend, Alexander The Great held captive various Achaemenid dignitaries and which was later used as a school. The narrow streets of the historic Old Town mainly consist of mud-built buildings with partially covered corridors, domes and numerous wind towers. The maze of narrow streets in ...
When it comes to Tehran, it's impossible to avoid politics and easy to overlook the Iranian city's thriving culinary scene. In our first installment of The MUNCHIES Guide to Tehran, our host Gelareh Kiazand introduces us to the bustling street food offerings in the city. We begin our journey at the capital city's Grand Bazaar, since that's where commodities first arrive. Gelareh beelines for the market's food stands, where she samples dried fruits and nuts while waiting out the line at Moslem Restaurant, frequented by up to 5,000 kebab connoisseurs daily—well worth it for her favorite tah chin. At the more modest and bygone Tajrish Bazaar, she's the proverbial kid in a candy store, wading through copper and carpet vendors in search of sweet snacks, such as grape molasses and lavasak (fru...

Iran and Germany hold their first joint trade commission in 14 years as they seek to expand their economic ties. The joint meeting was attended by delegations headed by German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel and his Iranian counterpart Ali Tayyeb Nia. The two officials signed 10 memorandums of understanding related to fossil and renewable energies, oil and gas investments, railways, environment, auto-making and aviation. The German Vice-Chancellor predicted that the removal of Western sanctions against Tehran would see the bilateral trade volume reach more than 10 billion euros. Iran’s economy minister also voiced hope that Berlin would take genuine steps to that end and conduct financial transactions with Iran. Gabriel later held talks with Iran’s Energy Minister Hamid Chit-chian in Teh...

Pastor Abedini, held for 3.5 years in Iranian prison for being Christian, saw the true Iranian regime's belief system. Woman are garbage; Artists, Christians, gays, journalists, protesters, or anyone who speaks negatively about the regime, including political rivals and thousands and thousand of Muslims. Executions are in the thousands per year. Human life is of no importance. Only their desire for a world free of any non-Muslim, with Israel destroyed, the Americans annihilated, and a chance to cleanse the world of all non-believers. At the same time, shame on Obama, Clinton, Biden, and the State Department for lying all the way through. As the pastor says, there was no chance freedom was not coming to him, unless the cash was on tarmac. Listen to him closely. He has seen into the sna...

Speakers: Professor Fred Halliday Chair: Professor Michael Cox This event was recorded on 23 February 2009 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building Thirty years after the fall of the Shah of Iran and the advent of Ayatollah Khomeini to power, the Iranian revolution continues to exert a dynamic ideological and political influence across the Middle East.

Subscribe to France 24 now : http://f24.my/youtubeEN FRANCE 24 live news stream: all the latest news 24/7 http://f24.my/YTliveEN It’s now been a year since Iran struck its historic nuclear accord with six world powers under which Tehran vowed to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions. The accord effectively spelled a brand new chapter for the Islamic Republic and its diplomatic ties with the rest of the world - especially with the West. Although there is still a sense of caution in the air, the deal seems to have instilled a great deal of hope on both sides. For eight months, FRANCE 24 documented the post-accord developments as they unfolded in Paris, Qom, Vienna and Washington. The documentary also shows how far Iran’s ultra-conservatives are ...
