Iran is the ancient name of the country; the Aryan tribes who formed the country in the Achaemenid era united the plateau in that region and called the country Iran (Aryanam in ancient texts), meaning "the land of Aryans".
The name Persia was introduced much later (around 600 BC) and it derives from the ancient Greek name (Persis) for Iran's maritime province called Fars/Pars. Based on this, other European nations termed the area Persia.
On March 21, 1935 Iran formally asked the international community to call the country by its native name.

What big mistake did the Persians make at the battle of Marathon?
They split their force. Their plan was to pin down at Marathon the Athenian infantry with their more numerical infantry, while their cavalry was shipped around to capture Athens in the absence of its army. The Athenian army would then be trapped in the open between the captured city walls and the infantry at Marathon.
Their error was in imagining their infantry without its cavalry support could stand up to the Athenian infantry. The Athenian armoured infantry, when they realised their opportunity, rand down from the hills around Marathon and over-ran the weaker Persian infantry. The Persians aid the price for this mistake.
The Athenian infantry then realised that the Persian cavalry was being shipped down the coast to Athens, so they ran the 26 miles over the hills back to Athens and arrived just in time to turn back the Persian cavalry when it was being disembarked. The Persians gave up and went home.

How do you say merry Christmas in Iran?
You can say it any way you want, but do it very quietly.
Less than 1% of Iranians are Christian, and while technically their rights are legally protected there is a lot of religious intolerance in Iran; both in government and in the population at large. Due to the very small number of Christians there are few identifiably Iranian cultural customs around Christmas.
Why did nobody win the Iran-Iraq War?
Nobody won the Iran-Iraq War because it was resolved by an armistice agreement or ceasefire (UNSC Resolution 598). A war can only be won if one party approaches the other party and surrenders, but neither than Iraqis nor the Iranians did this. If the United Nations had not intervened, it is completely possible that the Iraqis and the Iranians could have continued fighting each other well into the 1990s.
In terms of why the two sides were still fighting eight years after hostilities had begun instead of resolving the conflict sooner, the Iran-Iraq War was a fight between parties that had roughly equal military strength and who were fighting in hilly and mountainous terrain. Land invasions on either side went through small chokepointsand were ambushed by the opposite side. This led to very small pieces of enemy land coming under foreign occupation after years of fighting.
