Zoroastrianism was the main religion of Persia (Iran) before the arrival of Islam. Islam is the religion of Muslims. There are still some followers of Zoroastrianism in Iran as well as in Karachi in Pakistan and Mumbai in India. They are called Parsis.
Iranian Muslims now mainly follow the Shia branch of Islam. They do not follow the main traditions of Zoroastrianism.
It is possible that the Zoroastrian past of Iran has left some traces in modern Iranian culture.
