description Iran Overview
Iran, historically known as Persia, is a large country in Western Asia with its capital at Tehran, governed as an Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution. Its heritage spans the Achaemenid ruins at Persepolis and the Safavid-era monuments of Isfahan, including Naqsh-e Jahan Square, all UNESCO-listed. The Zagros and Alborz mountain ranges frame interior deserts such as the Dasht-e Lut, among the hottest land surfaces recorded on Earth, and historic cities on the Silk Road cross the plateau; Persian (Farsi) is the official language.
