Depends on what you mean. The current government has been around since 1979. it is an anti-amarican, pro-islamic government. It's the one that you see in the news. Before that, there was the monarchies, who each had different dynasties. before that, the country was ruled by Arabs known as the islamic period. the pre-islamic period, which also consisted of monarchs. The initial being Cyrus the great, centred in Persepolis. this was around 2500 thousand years ago! EVEN BEFORE THAT, there were several other empires, including the Elam empire, which was a separate empire ruling before this time. So yes, Iran is older than any European country, and the Roman Empire.
