The question makes a somewhat-incorrect initial claim. As can be seen in the above map, Iraq and Afghanistan were regions that came under the historic control of Persia on different occasions. However, these regions were never called "Persia". Iraq generally went by the name "Mesopotamia" and Afghanistan had several names, such as North Khorasan, Parthia, Bukhara, etc.
The historic country of Persia is properly identified with the modern Islamic Republic of Iran, which is its successor-state (post-revolution).
