The Baha'i Faith was founded in Persia (Iran) in 1844. Baha'u'llah (ie., "Glory of God") publicly proclaimed His station as the latest anointed Messenger of God from Baghdad in Iraq in 1863.

The founder of the Bahá'í Faith, known as Bahá'u'lláh, was from Persia (Iran). When he declared his mission (i.e., stating that he was a Messenger of God), he was already in exile, in Baghdad. Today that is Iraq; at that time, it was part of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). That was in 1863.

The faith of the Báb is usually considered a separate religion, although important in the history of the Bahá'í Faith. This faith (the Babí Faith) started in Iran, in 1844.
