Modern Persia IS Iran. The two names refer to the same country. Persia was an exonym (a word used by others to name the country) and Iran was an endonym (a word used by people of that country to refer to the country). In 1925, Reza Shah Pahlavi made the endonym Iran the official name of the country.
