Southwestern Iran was historically part of Mesopotamia and now is called Khuzestan by the Iranians and Ahwaz by the Arabs. By contrast, Persia was primarily in central and eastern Iran and some parts of Central Asia.

What was Iraq and Iran before?

Your question is not very clear. I assume you mean to ask about what other names these two territories have been known by throughout history. Iraq has always been known as "Iraq" in Arabic (we're talking at least 1500 years, probably more). In European languages, however, the area was usually known as MESOPOTAMIA. In the Bible, I suppose the terms BABYLONIA or CHALDEA are used to refer to Iraq (or at least the southern half of it. The northern part would be ASSYRIA). Iranians maintain that their land has always been called "Iran" in their native language as well. However, most other people used the term PERSIA. Today, PERSIA (or "Fars", to use the local pronunciation), is merely one province in southwestern Iran.
