Was Iran colonised?
Iran has always been been an imperial power as opposed to a colonial power, so while it has had periods of expansion (with numerous former kingdoms in its empires), it has never had colonies. Iran still has a territorial dispute with United Arab Emirates over three small islands in the Persian Gulf (Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa), but this is not colonization as they form an integral part of Iran.

Ancient name for Iran?
Empire of Persia or The Persians. The original person why replied to this said "Empire of Persia or The Persians", however this is incorrect. Persia is a Greek word, and the indigenous and domestic name of what we know as Persia has always been Iran. It was only until 1935 that Iran was known as Persia, in 1935 Reza Shah, a stern nationalist, changed Persia's name back to Iran as it always was. However, Iranians at the time, like always, were calling their nation Iran. Hard concept to grasp? Think Japan-Nippon, Croatia-Hrvatska, Germany-Deustchland ;)
