That would be Persia. 'Iran' is the one who destroyed the country's Persian heritage because it was considered unIslamic.
I hope these latest events do lead to regime change and the end of fundamentaist Islamic rule. God knows the Iranian people deserve it. Can't help but worry that it won't though and the long term result will be more repression.
I wonder which uninformed corner of the internet that came from. I saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I guess the same corner that called the atheist French phylosopelhers of the illustration "judeo christian".
Iran is the Persian name for Persia. Iran was always called Iran by the Iranians, Persia is a western name. The country was officially known as Persia until the mid 1930s, when the grandfather Pahlavi changed the official name to Iran. Nothing to do with the mullahs.
Food for thought. Not only is this guy probably right in all aspects but once you consider the motive being making money through military contracts then everything starts to make sense. Not good, but sense.
