Another perspective on Iran

Posted on 17. Mar 2007 · Comments [114]
Most people in the Western world are brain-washed by the Western media. Including me.

We should all open our eyes and see things from different angles. Especially now that USA is war-horny (again again).

My mental picture of Iran looked something like this:

Poverty

Muslim women

I imagined that Iran was:
  • A very poor country - a desert, something like Afghanistan
  • A country were women were hugely oppressed

    I think this picture is common (at least in Denmark), since that's how the media paints Iran for us. I have collected some pictures that will open your eyes for another Iran. I am not stating that everything is great in Iran, I am just stating that nothing is black and white, i.e. there is a lot of problems in Iran, but also a lot beauty.

Thank you - that was actually very nice to see :)

I think that's most people here in Britain's view as well. I think it's partly due to most of the problems being in the more...deserty areas, but there is also a lot of media manipulation in it too.

It's mainly media manipulation. You know, it's much easier to put sanctions and start a war with a fundamentalistic, primitive, poor, Islamic, ... Iran, then with a well-working country.

I'm happy not to live in Iran. Fundamentalism is a plague !
Yes, they have cities, cars and nature... So what ?
Don't be fooled so easily ! Think about Dubai... It seems to be all luxury and modernism. But in fact, it STINKS when you look where the money come from, when you know that those wonderful skyscrapers are built by SLAVE workers (they work incredibly hard, they are under-underpaid, and they have no choice because their papers are retained).

My little rant :)

I know at least one very well educated Iranian who would say a lot of positive things about Iran, but he would be the first to tell you how awful the regime is down there as well. Don't be fooled by the level of civilization in Iran, it's true that it's not a poor underdeveloped country by many standards but the Power still lies with a religious dictatorship and if you don't agree with that faction then you either have to shut up or run - and fast. Iran is like many other countries plauged by a hard split between rich and poor, and conformist and nonconformist, and the wrong side is very bad while the "right" side might be a joyous experience.

In short Iran is a mighty contry but also very different then most of the western world, but is this difference as bad as it is shown in the media? for some who want to think for themselves yes, for others; no.

In case it's necessary that I precise: I don't say that all Iranians are fundamentalists. The Iranian government is, and that's scary. I'm also scared by religious zealots that are Bush and his staff.

Iran isn't an utopia - no country is. My main point is, that there is another Iran that the media does not cover - and that's my only point. Focusing only on the negative can have bad consequences, like a war vs. one of the worlds oldest civilizations.

Thanks for your comments.

When Europa was submerged in darknesses of the Middle Ages in the Middle East a learning which now Europe is using throve.
Europe remembers it better, than America unfortunately...

Lovely (and important!) photographs. Nicely to watch them!

Very nice pictures indeed. Level of civilization or not. Nobody should make war there. Do you really think the Iran is stupid enough to nuke a country? It would instantly result in an counter attack. And everybody knows the consequences.

And I still think Ahmadinedschad isn't a worse leader than Bush or one of our European politicians.

In my mind everybody should be able to discuss things. About everything. Including holocaust, war crimes etc. Even a topic like holocaust should be legal to discuss. Disclaimer: I personally don't dispute the holocaust! But killing discussions before they start is something that's not right. Independently of the topic.

Armin

hi, i am from egypt, i know that what i will say may surprise you, but here in egypt also some media show iran as that radical, primitive country, while they are indeed more civilized than us, i don't mean by evolution (alone), but mainly by corruption that eat my country, by subordination to usa, if we are talking about the regime, bush blame iran for the lake of democracy (!!!) (iran's democracy is much stronger than usa's) while treating our old president (25 year as president) as friend !, that is subordination, and iran is not going for it.
last week iranian ex-president khatami (which is a philosophy) was here in bibliotheca alexandrina, while talking about various things related to the dialogue among civilization, he is asked about iran's nuclear program, then he said that this program was started after him then he had to explain their needs for clean energy and pollution and the next generation share of oil, and most developed country go for nuclear energy, then he is asked what about nuclear weapon, and he smiled and said "that's me who started the project, and most of you know that khatami wasn't thinking of nuclear weapon" (the iranian revolution council declared decades ago that weapons of mass destruction are denied by islam religion (because most those weapons kill aren't militant) and iran will never use them) to complete his sentence he said "but that may differ if that's bushy whom started the project :)"

@Pascal
"Fundamentalism is a plague" i agree, but why you think iran is fundamentalist ?
Dubai ? i am sure you will not love it if you are from uae, dubai is no more dubai, may be another thing, a city without identity
"those wonderful skyscrapers are built by SLAVE workers" i hope you are just joking, true ? :)
that's capitalism what enslave the poorest and the ignorants, while they don't know they are slaves, all they know that they had to work hard for very little gain, but that's another topic

@Armin Ronacher
"Even a topic like holocaust should be legal to discuss" i defenatly agree
"I personally don't dispute the holocaust" personally, i do
there is no mean that hitler killed 20 million of jews while whole europe had 12 million, germany by it's own had less than 6 million (germany had much of jews comparing to whole europe), personally i don't hate jews at all, but hate injustice, hate zionism, why should they colonize palestine ? and why should all the (civilized ?) word support them ?

@amix
thanks for the images ang for clarifying the view
utopias doesn't exist, nor iran nor usa (nor egypt :) )
but for the media domination over minds, do you think weblogs may change this (as i hope) ?

latest news:
iran free the 15 british naval
and britain promise to not repeat the mistake
while usa still kidding

with the best wishes from an iranian boy.we love all the people of the world.viva peace,viva life,viva freedom and viva love...

Hi thank you for your creative idea to take these pictures and show the real life of Iran to people of abroad. I came out of Iran for too years to complete my study and I have tried to be representative of real life in Iran. I described for people the real life in Iran and show them the pictures and tell them the story of our civilization. But when I see people give me unbelievable look when describe for then I just get disappointed but I think may be this is not their fault….they are hypnotized by powers who have capability of making the 300 … or many other weapons to brain wash..
Sometime I get tried to describe to these people but when I see some people like you exist…I feel I have to continue…

hi:) tnx for show real face of iran to ppl in the world , i think u can show otherthing about iranian girls and boy
ty a lot , good luck:D

Iran's nature is one of the most beautiful, but the government is one of the ugliest.
Thanks for the pictures. Lots of memories came back to me. One of the pictures (with the highway) shows the neighbourhood I used to live. miss it so much! can’t wait to go back there... if bush hasn’t destroyed it by then!!

hi i live in australia and here picture of iran is exactly
like other western country whene i talk about snowy days in tehran they think i am joking and start laughing and some people here think that camel is one of the main transports
in iran. in sydney we have water restriction not any dam has been built since 32 years ago in australia but in iran every year 2-3 new dam is being stablished.
with or without ahmadinejad iran is going forward and who cares what other people say

Iran is my country is the only place I love and I regret that we couldn’t take a good care of it and now its in hand of a corrupted government which puts the country in danger of war the government is doing exactly what USA wants giving them excuse to invade Iran isn’t it crazy and a bit suspicious if America want to fight with terrorists why they don’t go to Saudi Arabia and set them free? Isn’t it because they give them oil and money is there any terrorist who is Iranian all those terrorist are from either Saudi Arabia or Pakistan Ben laden is from Saudi Arabia and lives in Pakistan why USA is not going to these to countries terrorism is just an excuse Muslims have been living in the world over the last 1400 years and there was no Muslim terrorist till 1989 when al Qaeda formed in Afghanistan aren’t they Sunni and from Saudi Arabia oh yes they are if Iranian want to be free they don’t need USA to come and set them free we are active to have a free beautiful country where every one with any color or religion lives safe and free

It is all bulshit! In fact it is a modernised prison with syco prisoners! all most all poeple living in this country suffers from a kind of mental problem! Furthermore, Iranian think that they are the smartest people in the World. Where you don't have Freedom it is just Hell, even it looks nice!

Iran is very nice country which has a very great history.

i dont say any thing about realface of iran,i just say to all people in the world that please journey or travel to iran for 1 day and see real iran with hospitable people

I am very happy that some one like you make every thing easy for every one to see the real face of IRAN and the world . This is IRAN , this is my country .

Even in the first picture you can see an electricity post. The village has power, water, tel and mobile coverage.

okyj

This is IRAN , this is my country .

This is IRAN , this is my country .

Thnx nice pix & choose really this is Iran

Thanks for the great pictures!
I visited Iran after 32 years of living in the west, mainly UK and USA and to be honest, I liked it alot!
Sure, there are many new things, tall buildings, new cars, even the Police drive a Benz and the motorcycles are all BMW's which I love.
I think the best part was the Food and the gental kindness that only Iranian people can bring about. What a treat to say the least. Thank you Iran!

Hi. I am an Iranian boy and must appreciate you. I wish you to be successful in your way. This is Iran. My dear country that I love it. This pictures will help to changing sights about Iran. but I am sorry about those who are Iranian but do not know their own country. people like m-n who live in Iran and consider Iran by its government.
Iran has the greatest history and have a unique nature. Hran was the first empire. Iran is the country of great cyrus.
In iran every body love Iran. I agree that we have a very bad government. but say me which country have an ideal government? my friend m-n you have to study more about our country. in history there were several governments in Iran. all of them is now gone and that is remined is Iran. viva Iran. viva great cyrus and viva human rights.
goodbye.

I am sure it is true that the media often give IRAN a negative image but I tried to discuss this in a positive way with a e mail friend living in IRAN,this was at the time the British sailors were being held in IRAN but she just would not listen to my view from the UK.Just her own governments view.If the one woman sailor wanted to serve in her countries armed forces why should she be villified by anyone.If men and women are treated really equaly, then she should have the same rights even such a one as that as a man has to serve his country.But I agree these pictures show a better and more successful IRAN than our media does,Sadly my friend just stopped being my friend,no arguement,just stopped.That says something in my oppinion.

Hi, I was posted this link by my good friend Fatemah - I - like most of the western civilisation beleived that Iran was like Iraq - War repressed and desolate with blood thirsty killers on every doorstep - I am pleased to say ' How wrong was I !! '
This just goes to show you our European Media portrays Middle East and its people - which is totally wrong and unfair !!
What a beautiful country that you possess - I am sure that when the sun sets upon your land that you go to sleep and wake up Proud to be Iranien!
Thankyou for opening my eyes !
Rob.

dear sir/ maadam
there is no night life in Iran all shops are closed at 24.
the most to that.
are you sure there is night life???
DARBAND IS SO nice!!!!! but !!! ! !! ! !
NO NIGHT life
I know you can go there after 1 but does it mean
there is night life?
are Iranian girls free to wear bikini at the beaches????
can they?????
have you ever been in other cities?
is there any tall bulding there??
no there is not!!

yes Iran has a beautiful nature , old and interesting culture .We know that we need to reform us but it is very important that we should do it ourselves .
War is a awful thing and it can damage our culture and kill our family. Only people from outside want war because it can not kill themselves.

l Iran est un grand pays de la perse et il restera toujours ce grand pays

hi,
thank u for putting these pics here,
I as an Iranian boy belive people around the world should first understand true face of Iran then make comment about it,Iran is far different from what some one show it to world.
i love Iran and i think world is in dept to Iran for it's human right,culture,....
we love other people and nations,
come to Iran and see our hospitality,

@pascal:"I'm happy not to live in Iran" :we also happy u don't live in iran.

refer here,see when we established human right and kingdom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K...

I want to thank you on behalf of all iranians for putting these pictures together. thank you my friend!
Iran, like the other countries in the world, has many different faces and aspects. but the problem with the western media is that they are trying their best to magnify the issues that benefits their own interest..

Thank you for the glimpses of Iran; you are right, here in the US too many seem to believe that Iran is poor desert country in which women are much oppressed.
The photos of the many aspects of this country are beautiful and informative.

please look & enjoy

Beautiful pictures. I am glad I found this site. In the 1960-70's the Iranian pilots trained in the USA. I lived in a town with one of these airbases. I dated some of the pilots and they were very polite gentlemen. I hope to travel and visit one day if the turmoil can ever be settled. Thanks again for the pics.

hi, i was searching in the web, and i saw your webpage, i'm iranian and i live in italy, i know how bad people think about us, the false news of great radios and tv.s has pictured a false view of us and our country, i hope you have liked iran, and i hope other peple would go there and understand that the news are wrong.thank any way, good luck

Iam asif from PAISTAN.
Iran really a very nice country. but the people of iran are very moooody and proudy. WHY? ????? . I dont know.

in futur it is in my future plan list that to visit iran completly.

Hi guys, I'm an Iranian and I live in Iran...What is wrong here is not about people or country...Remember there are good and bad people anywhere, could anyone name a country in which all people are hospitable?!But in my view people are nice, so nice that I don't like to live anywhere else.
and about the government, talking doesn't change anything....!
Hope you all have fun...

tank you! just tank you.

HI.I AM AN IRANIAN MEN AND I LIVING IN DENMARK ,I SEEKING AN IRANIAN WOMEN FOR AN FRIENDSHIP OR MARRIAGE ,IF YOU WILL,LIKE ,SO CONTACT TO ME EMIL

You obviously have a beautiful country. I advise any of you that live near a plant that will produce nuclear materials should move. It is a matter of time before the US has no other choice but to remove them. RUN! RUN! RUN!

Iran has good and bad sides. U.S. also has good and bad sides. You can decide in a fairly manner when you see both sides, not oly bad sides but also good sides. I love my country (Iran) as well as an American would love his or her country, and I and other Irainian do know about the bad sides of Iran, we are working all day and night to improve our country and clean the all bads from it. My advice to other countries is, if you dont want to see any bad in the world, start it from your own country. You, too, has lots of bad things as well as Iran.

from shiraz-iran one of the richest country,have alots of
resource,who care?bad managing bring poverty for iran'resident!

Hi everybody, i m an iranian girl who is grown up in switzerland, but i never really accepted switzerland as my home, as my country, not because switzerland is a bad country, no, it s a great country who offers everyone a lot of possibilities, but i feel even after 17years like a foreigner, like someone who wants to go home.........it doesn t matter what other people or other countries say about iran, i love it and i m so proud to be iranian:)
of course we ve got a lot of problems in iran, there is a huge different between the rich and the poor ones...iran hasnt really got a good government but for me it s paradise...and do u know why? because i ve got my friends there, i ve got my family there, people who has got the same culture like me...
unfortunately i can not really describe the feelings that i ve got when i m in iran, when i go out with my friends...there are so many lovely places which u can visit, and i m sure that everyone who visits iran will have a lovely journey;)
so everyone who wants to know how it really is in iran(badsides and goodsides), please go to iran and make your own picture of it;)
Man vatanparastam taasob daram,az IRAN ye behesht tasavor daram, IRANI zendegi mikonamo IRANI mimiram, vaghte jang aslahe to dast migiram
LOVE U IRAN;)

Salam,
That's the internet age!!Google it:
"ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN"
Unfortunatly many useful sites may are filtered in your country,nevertheless you will found things which surprise you.(e.g Automatic Camels in transportaition system! :))
Independent of who is the Iran president and how the political system acts, I STRONGLY recommend you to teravel IRAN, not just to watch it's really great nature and incredible historical buildings, but also search, ask and try to know Imam Ali,to realiza why iranian belive Imam Ali as their perfect Leader. You know, Iran is the unique country to know Imam Ali, you can find the most reliable and the most precise and perfect information about the greatest person in the world and among all centuries.
hope to see you

Sincerely

تقدیم به همه ی ایرانیهای عزیز

یا علی گفتیم و عشق آغاز شد
درهای بهشت رویمان باز شد
اندر لحدم نکیر و منکر دیدند "یاهو"
اعضای مرا یکی یکی بوئیدند
چون بوی محبت علی داشت دلم
از آمدن خویش خجل گردیدند
چون نامه جرم ما به هم پیچیدند
بردند و به میزان عمل سنجیدند
بیش از همه کس گناه ما بود ولی
ما را به محبت علی بخشیدند

Why are people doing this? All those people. Why?

I'm an Iranian and proud of being it. I support neither Mulla's regime nor Shah. (na invari, na oonvari, goore pedare harvari)
We could defend our country in 8 years war with Iraq (which has been supported by USA, UK, France, Germany, Israel and most Arab countries); and we could also resist US & Europe's sanctions in several years. We had big losses by external enemies and intern traitors but we are always going forward. We solve our problems ourselves without any foreign help or force.
I don't care about how media presents Iran or people in other countries think about my country.

What is important is that we know ourselves, our capabilities, our rich culture and teach this to our children.

let the others get brain-washed, entertained by their media and drown in their paradox.

Cheers,
Armin

I'm so proud of IRAN.
there is some mistakes in every country( & IRAN isn't an exception). so it's better 2 try 2 solve the problems ourselves.
love IRAN.

I'm an Iranian boy.I love Iran.I love peace and I love people who love peace.
I want you to know that Tehran is one of the the safest capital all over the world.
NO one can judge Iran by his media.You should come to Iran to understand ...

thnk you

It was good site . we can see so many thing;s beautful from iran did u ever seen iran?in iran people are very kind and hospitable u can never seen like that people ever place.

Hi , Great thanks for your actual view of iran . I am happy that still some unwashed brain exist in the world & they regard another civilization. Happy iranian resident

Iran actually is far more civilized than how it is shown in the west. But the real life in a country is not just about buidlings and cars. I have left Iran for 4 month to work in Kazakhstan. I live in a small city, but here I feel freedom.
It was so disgusting to me, seeing police cars in the streets of Tehran, with those nasty cops, looking for girls who are not dressed based on the "so-called" Islamic code.
It is disgusting to know that the police may knock on your door to investigate whether you have a satellite reciever and what you watch on your TV.
It is disgusting that you may be qustioned by the police, any moment, when you are walking in the park with your girl/boyfriend, of your relationship and that you are guilty if you are with a girl/boyfriend.
It is disgusting that the givernment has the right to accuse you if you keep certain types of drinks (alc.) in your home or the music you listen or the movie you watch or what you write in your personal webpage...
I am truly happy that I am not in my most loved home... and this is the confusing contradiction of being an Iranian.

For everyone's more information, keeping a satellite dish at home in Iran may bring you over $5000 charge, plus your whole receiver system and every multimedia device, CDs, etc. being removed by the police. And it is all the case if you are Iranian. For foreigners, it's totally free. This is another aspect of Iranian government's hospitality ;-)

Hi, I was searching for Iran's nature pics to send to my Foreign friend that i found this site, so i am supposed to say:

I am an Iranian girl who live in Iran. By this I am not defending Iran nor condeming it. I am just saying what i think it's true. I can say that almost all of the above comments are somehow true. It's true that I do love my own country because i was born and raised here, but it doesn't mean that because of that i should ignore the real Facts about the Real Iran. That is obvious for everyone that Iran has a beautifl nature, great history,... . This is only the one side. looking at the other side you can figure out that most ppl living in Iran are not satisfied with the current Iran (current condition in Iran, current regime,government), that's not because they hate Islam and being a Muslim, It's because they have seen that the government is not willing to do something for it's ppl's welfare, they knew that Mullas (the so-called religious authorities) are just misusing the name of Islam for their own profits.... they suffer from the pressure of economic problems that the government has imposed on them. The government doesnt care about the ppl here, they mostly think of pocketing money. And if an honest person can be found to serve the country and it's ppl, they will obstruct that...

I should say this too:
In Iran ppl and mostly Women have more freedom comparing to some other 3rd_world countries (such as Suadi Arabia) and of course not comparing to the developed ones (such as European countries, etc). I wonder if you know that In Suadi Arabia women cannot even drive let alone of other things.... but in Iran we have women as a member of Parlimant, they can drive,... . Everything in Iran tends to be improving but that seems it have to take a long time because of the goverment's approach.

It seems to me that Iran is like a person that his boat is got stuck in the sea,likely to be drowned and everyone is watching, want to help but no one does anything!! they are only the best observer,.. no one is doing a thing for improving this awful situation...

There is much more to say and discuss about, but in whole I believe that ppl of other countries should respect the ppl of everywhere,... I know that most of countries including USA think that Iranian ppl are such wild, impolite, uneducated, ignorant... ppl. They forgot that there are some Iranian surgeons, doctors,engineers... living in that countries and are working much better than their native ones.

Everywhere has bad ppl as well as good and nice ones, one shouldnt judge a whole by knowing only a bit of the thing.

The great thing in this World is not so much where we are, but in what directions we are moving. Oliver Wendell Holmes

...

great

it was mervelous,I am a iranian girl,i was proud of iran and you a foreignr make it binary! thanx alot!

thank you for showing real Iran

Hi, I have traveled to iran and that's awesome. I Recommanded.

im a persian girl who fled to usa .my graet iran is a hell now. the islamic gaverment is the worst one. they destroy my country.. they destroy nature and history. people are mentaly sick( specially women)they hang people in streets.iranians live in a big prison and they even dont know.god bless george bush .he was the only man in the world who said iranians have right to be free. other countries dont say any thing cuz they need cheap oil. why should i live here alone and cry for my family and my land ?why 6 milion iranians must live in exile...if u travel to another cities, u will undrestand the meaning of POVERTY compeletly.they spend the money earned by selling oil to support terrorist. i can prove it...my iran is diying slowly ... prustitution ,poverty,crime is in higher level than 30 years ago.

Salam,
I feel respect to Iranian high culture. I were proud to Iranian tradition, in philosophical problem. And, of course, I like some of philosopher from Iran such as Muthahhari, Nasr, Sadra, etc. At my campus in Bandung-WestJava, we have Iran Corner and have been established several months ago. With cultural aproach, we can grow mutual understanding between Iranian people and Indonesian people.

Dear WRITTER;
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PLEASURE INFORMING YOU THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN THE REAL ASPECT OF WHAT GOING ON HERE IN IRAN THROUGH PRODUCING SCIENTIFIC THESES ,THEORIES AS OUR ANCESTORS DID. I HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE IN THE CAPITAL,FOR MORE THAN 27 YEARS AND REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT PEOPLES,CUSTOMS,CIVILIZATION AND BEAUTY IS AT THE CLIMAX, I AND WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME SHORTAGES BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE ARE CAPABLE TO MANAGE WHAT WE DESIRE AND THINK OF. WE HAVE A YOUNGEST COUNTRY WITH SUPER POWER POTENTIAL OF YOUTH. GOD,KING,COUNTRY, VIVA IRAN.

Hi my dear friend
Thanks for your attempt to to show world the reall face of Iran. I know that we have some problem but in facy all countries has problem. I'm an Iranian girl and i;m proud of this. Thank you againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

hi

Sorry all you that are trying to show Iran in a nice light. I don't care how nice the scenery is, or the cities, or anything that can be shown in a pretty picture. It's not the landscape that we hate, it's not even the people, well not most of them anyway I believe. It is Islam.....oooppps, I'm not allowed to say I hate a religion am I. Ok, let me put it this way........I hate people that think it's ok to kill people for things like....sex between consenting adults....homosexual acts......not believing in the religion they tell you too......yeah....churches in Iran.....they just passed a death sentance for leaving the religion of Islam.....and if someone really deserves execution......like a mad dog serial killer.....then is should be done quick....painless.....and with a minimum of fear put on the prisoner......in Iran they lift you up and let you dangle until you are dead....women are gang raped the night before to make sure they are not virgins to ensure they can not get a free virgin ticket to heaven. Even downloading anything "UnIslamic" on the net now has a manditory death sentence.....I HATE PEOPLE WHO DO ALL THESE THINGS......weather they are muslims or not.....the fact that Iran is run by people like this.....and that they get there authority from the Koran.....and everything they do is justified and mandated in the Koran.....I've read it...studied it....along with ahadith.....and they ARE following it precisely......down to a tea.......well....guess what.......that means I hate Islam..

I'm sure I could have walked around Nazi Germany with a Camera and took a lot of lovely pictures of lovely people and places too......so what....doesn't change the fact that the regime running the joint is rotten to the core.

I hope one day the regime can overthrow that pack of mullah arseholes and make them rot in tiny jail cells in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives......or maybe they should have a big pubic mass execution to celebrate the end of the cruel regime by executing them all using their own methods ......one more time.......for the last time......before the true Persain identity is resumed and peace and love rule the country once again.

hi , very very good ,
Please write of great history !
tnx

Iranian girls are too hot to handle.

im doing a project now i might as well put the history:
The First inhabitants of Iran were a race of people living in western Asia. When the Aryans arrived, they gradually started mingling with the old native Asians. Aryans were a branch of the people today known as the Indo-Europeans, and are believed to be the ancestors of the people of present India, Iran, and most of Western Europe. Cyrus the Great was the founder of the empire and he was the first to establish the charter of human rights. In this period, Iran stretched from the Aegean coast of Asia Minor to Afghanistan, as well as south to Egypt. The Achaeamenid Empire was overthrown by Alexander the Great in 330 BC and was followed by The Seleucid Greek Dynasty. Throughout Iran's long history, the country has always maintained its national identity and has developed as a distinct political and cultural entity
