What two city state united to defeat the Persians in the Persian war?
If you mean Sparta and Athens, they were not rivals but supported each other. The rivalry came after the Persian invasion was repelled and Athens turned the Delian League it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own and used its resources to try to dominate the Greek world.
The supreme leader of Iran is Ayatollah Khomenei, he is elected by the Assembly of Experts. The Assembly of Experts are elected by the people. though, in my opinion, he is a sick man, he forces unfair laws based on religion unto the people. I my self am Iranian and I love my country, but he ruined it all.
How did the Persians lose the Persian Wars?
They lost the punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens in 490 BCE - successful against Eretria captured and its inhabitants sold into slavery, but lost against Athens at Marathon. The Persians split their force, sending their cavalry by sea to take Athens by treachery. When the Athenians at Marathon saw the cavalry embarked, they rushed down from the hills where they had been lurking to avoid the cavalry, and ran over the inferior Persian infantry. They then ran back the 26 miles to Athens and formed up in front of the city gates to stop the cavalry. The Persians went home.
The real invasion to take over mainlaand Greece in 480 BCE was frustrated by losing the naval battle of Salamis, which removed the threat of amphibious raids against the cities of the Peloponnese which kept the city armies a home to defend them. It also exposed the sea supply fleet of the Persian army. In a poor countryside, Xerxes had to take half his army home, and the following year the Greek cities concentrated against the remaining Persian army and its Greek allies at Plataia and defeated them. At the same time the Greek navies defeated the remaining Persian fleet at Mykale.
Athens then formed an anti-Persian alliance amongst the Greek cities in Persian territiories which ensured the success of subsequent naval battles at Eurymedon and Cyprus. The Persians then entered a peace treaty, undertaking to stay out of Greek waters.
Why are Iranians called Persians even though Persia no longer exists?
The original name Iran (= Aryan) was overlaid in the west by the Greek name Persia. This persisted until modern times. In 1935 the Shah (king) tried to reinstate Iran as the name, but this was not successful and in 1949 either name use was accepted. In recent years international use has accepted Iran, however the word Persian is used in some contexts.

What form of government is practiced in Iran?
Iran is a theocratic Islamic republic governed under the constitution of 1979, which codified Islamic principles of government. The constitution was revised in 1989, expanding presidential powers and eliminating the position of prime minister. The president, who is popularly elected for a four-year term, serves as the head of government. The supreme leader, who effectively serves as the chief of state, is appointed for life by an Islamic religious advisory board (the Guardian Council) that works in close conjunction with the government. The legislative branch consists of the 270-seat Islamic consultative assembly, or parliament, whose members are elected by popular vote. Although Iran has no legal political parties, there are at least three important political groups, as well as a number of pressure groups, some of which have been suppressed by the government.

Who was the alliance among Greek city states to protect against the Persians?
Today we call it the Delian League because the anti-Persian alliance had its treasury (where they kept the city-state contributions to maintain League forces) on the island of Delos. After about 25 years, Athens had the treasury moved to Athens so that Athens could squander it on themselves.
With a peace treaty signed with Persia in 449 BCE it was no longer defensive and it became painfully obvious (if it hadn't been before) that the League had degenerated into an empire of Athens, with Athens collecting the tribute annually (by force where necessary) and spending it as it pleased.
Apart from the beautifacation of Athens (including the Parthenon) the funds kept about half the Athenian citizens on the city's payroll - in public service and the enforceers of the empire, the army and particularly the navy. And that naval dominance allowed it to be offensive against other Greek states.
Who would win a war Iran or Pakistan?
Answer 1
Easily Israel.
Israel defeated three countries in six days. Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria also contributed troops and arms.
Just goes to show how the IDF is superior to any country bordering or currently against Israel.
This depends on what type of war is being fought. If an all-out war were fought including nuclear arms, then both would lose. Due to Iraq, Syria and Jordan being between these 2 countries, any war between them would probably drag these 3 countries into the war as well.
Size: Iran with the bigger land area would have a slight advantage in terms of being attacked with nuclear arms. Unfortunately, it also means that they have more points along their borders to defend. Israel has less borders so could mass troops more easily, but this also makes them more vulnerable.
Allies: Israel currently has the advantage of having allies with superior technology and more active political ambitions. Iran's allies are closer but weaker in power.
Technology: Israel again holds the advantage. Including their overall air superiority, their well funded military is at an advantage. Iranian also has some Russian technology.
Answer 2
Iran would win because more people and way better weapons and tech.
Answer 3
I am far more cautious than Answerers 1 & 2. Iran and Israel have never had a proper military engagement before. It is likely that a war between the two parties would have much more to do with where the war took place (because of homefield advantage) and espionage activities.
Iran has strong anti-aircraft missile batteries and a much more sophisticated military than any that Israel has faced. Additionally, a ground assault in Iran would be extremely hostile to Israel especially since they would only be able to arrive through parachuting or amphibious landings. Iran also has a rugged topography and numerous mountain ranges in comparison to the hills and sand dunes that the Israeli land forces are more familiar with.
Israel would also present numerous difficulties for Iranian invasions. Israel has a general technological advantage as well as numerous anti-aircraft batteries. Also, any direct invasion of Israel would likely bring in the United States.
