Modern Persia corresponds to the nation of Iran. The term "Persia" was historically used to refer to the region and its people, but officially, in 1935, the country adopted the name "Iran," which means "Land of the Aryans." Despite this change, the cultural heritage and identity linked to Persia remain significant in Iranian history and society.
Modern Iran is where Persia originated, but during its peek expansion Persian Empire included most of the Middle East and Asia Minor.
Persia, as a distinct political entity, effectively ceased to exist after the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1925, which marked the transition from the Persian Empire to the modern nation-state of Iran. The name "Persia" was officially changed to "Iran" in 1935, further solidifying its modern identity. However, the historical region of Persia continues to influence Iranian culture and identity today.
