A Brief Description

Iran, the second largest country in the Middle East, has 5,000 years of fascinating history.

Known as Persia until 1935, Iran became an Islamic republic in 1979 after the ruling shah was forced into political exile.

Thrust into the worldwide spotlight in 1979, when Iranian students seized the US Embassy in Tehran, it also struggled through a bloody and disastrous (no win) eight-year-war with Iraq in the 1980s.

Literally surrounded by the most tumultuous area on the planet, the rigidity of its own long-standing political and social policies have come under attack in recent years, and there's now a powerful and growing internal pressure for reform.

The country is rich in natural gas and petroleum resources, and when that economic power is combined with its outwardly-friendly and hard working people, a troubled past certainly points to a bright future.

And as for tourism, international travelers rave about Iran's natural beauty, as well as its ancient ruins, mosques and first-class museums.
