Iran

Yes, since 1963.

Yes. Iranian Plateau is surrounded by Alborz and Zagrous mountains.

He wasn't. He died.

I don't know. Mr. Oboma will probable nuke Iran before he accepts failure.

The left-wing opinion (My answer and opinion is below the line I made)

Highly unlikely, for several reasons...

1: Unlike Iraq - which was a secular state - Iran is an Islamic Republic. When invading Iraq, the statement that it was a war against the Ba'ath Party and not Islam was met with some skepticism, but generally managed to pass. Thus, the big Islamist uprising never occurred. A war with Iran would certainly be perceived as a war on Islam, and would have much further reaching repurcussions.

2: Iran is the enemy of our enemy. The regime of Saddam Hussein was an enemy of Iran, as is the Taliban - Iran actually provided intelligence on the Taliban to Coalition forces in Afghanistan. With the likelihood of a regime coming into power into Pakistan consisting of the same people who formed the Taliban, a capable opposing power must remain in the region.

3: There's already two wars currently going on, and forces are stretched as is.

4: After the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Iraq no longer had the Soviet Union as an ally. The successor states of the Soviet Union - namely, Russia - shifted their alignment to Iran, for a number of reasons, one of which being that the Taliban supports several insurgent movements in the former Soviet Union, most notably in Chechnya.

My right-wing opinion

Although it's not official some people (myself included) are speculating that we may have a war by 2013-4 as it is official, Iran *"ARE"* developing nuclear WEAPONS as opposed to energy! Here is what I've read

The Times newspaper obtained documents showing that Iran ordered some form of detonator and other parts that are inconsistent with energy (Now why would you need detonators for nuclear energy?)

FACT - Iranians on TV have been shouting *DEATH TO BRITAIN*, *DEATH TO AMERICA* and *DEATH TO ISRAEL* whilst the Iranian government/military have been publicly test-firing rockets/warheads on TV in a show of provocation!

Iran's leader publicly said that Israel should be wiped off the map!

Iran's president and Ayatollah have publicly said they'll hit/fight back if invaded (with what? I thought there were no weapons)

- Iran is the main supplier of weapons to terrorists and terror organizations such as Al Qaeda/The Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah etc. (I know this as I've read all the facts and the soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan were showing a tv news crew from Britain weapons and exploded bombs which were marked "Made in Iran")

Iran's nuclear program will be finished/completed by 2014 just after the next US election and some are speculating that Obama and republican opponents will use it as a propaganda tool (like they did with 9/11 and the supposed Iraq link) to publicly rally for action against terror elements who threaten it's nation and others well being (Israelis, fellow westerners etc) in a battle of "who is tougher against the enemy"!

Iran aren't disproving weapons allegations by just being open with inspectors (just think, if, for example, I was in their position, I would want to prove myself to be completely innocent by just showing them evidence whilst gloating and showing off on tv by saying *look at these foolish westerners making horrid allegations which are untrue* to prove it and to politically rub the enemy's nose in it rather than their current stance of "denial without proof" of peaceful purposes whilst trying to brush everything aside/under the carpet and keeping tight-lipped about their actions and threatening Jewish and western safety)

An Irainian

There are rumors of extremely harsh punishment in Iran for theft. However, the current punishment for shoplifting in Iran is jail.

Pretty much like any other countries. Adults go to work during the day and children go to school. Both men and women can work so it depends on what an individual decides to do. When they are off they watch tv, listen to music, dance, go shopping, go to restaurants, visit friends and families, ...

I don't think this is a fair question. If you're talking about an marriage to an African American like Barack Obama or Susan Rice, I would say "yes". But, if we're talking O.J. Simpson or Whitney Houston, the answer would be "no". In short, people cannot be simply classified by race, but who they are as a person is more important. One's complexion is only skin deep.

A loaf of bread is a mass of dough that has been baked into bread. It is usually baked in a loaf pan and sliced after cooling.

The Gross National Product of Iran is $187 billion since 2005, ranked #32 in the world.

Command economy.

Total troop strength of 12.3 million troops both active and reserve ranks Iran as the World's largest Army. There are 550 thousand men on active duty.

Simply answered...No, Al Gore was not involved in the Iran-Contra hearings. You should not believe any information that was supplied to you regarding Osama in 1987(Year of the Hearings). The man asking the questions was not Senator Al Gore, John Nields was the one asking the questions. This information was gathered from Oliver North's Testimony which can be found at the official U.S. Senate website.

Afghanistan is the country and its capital is Kabul.

The question makes a somewhat-incorrect initial claim. As can be seen in the above map, Iraq and Afghanistan were regions that came under the historic control of Persia on different occasions. However, these regions were never called "Persia". Iraq generally went by the name "Mesopotamia" and Afghanistan had several names, such as North Khorasan, Parthia, Bukhara, etc.

The historic country of Persia is properly identified with the modern Islamic Republic of Iran, which is its successor-state (post-revolution).

Iran is one of the strictest countries in the world. The country does have public holidays though. They include January 01 Demise of Prophet Mohammad, January 02 Martyrdom of Imam Reza, January 13 Milad un Nabi Birth of the Prophet Muhammad, 13 January 2014 Celebrated 5 days later for Shia, February 11 Victory of Islamic Revolution, March 20 Nationalization of Oil Industry Day, March 21 Nowruz Persian New Year, May 13 Imam Ali's Birthday, May 27 ShabeMiraj Night of Ascension, July 19 Martyrdom of Imam Ali, July 27 Imam Mahdi's Birthday, July 28 Eid alFitr End of Ramadan, August 22 Martyrdom of Imam Sadegh, October 04 Eid alAdha Feast of Sacrifice, October 13 Eid alGhadeer, Observed only by Shia, October 25 Islamic New Year, November 02 Tasua, November 03 Ashura, and December 13 Arbaeen.

Yes, some people have survived being hung to be executed later in another manner. Some people who have tried to commit suicide by hanging have also survived with minor or major injuries. Briton John Lee survived hanging and had a sentence that was commuted to life in prison.
