Who led the over throw of the shah of Iran in 1979?
Iran is mostly Shiites who are deviated from the mainstream straight path of Islam; they visit the graves to perform some practice that invalidates the genuine creed of Islam such as asking the dead people to benefit them, help them or protect them etc. With regard to your question, it was the Khomeini who made the new regime on Iran in 1979. Thx.

Are there any current wars in Iran?
The Imperial State of Iran (1935-1979) and the Islamic Republic of Iran (1979-Present) have not themselves started any international conflicts. They have, however, been responsible for internal military action both against armed belligerents and unarmed protesters, funded proxy organizations which have themselves started wars, and supported regimes in other countries which have started wars. (The Iran-Iraq War, which was the largest Iranian war in recent history, was caused by Iraq's invasion of Iranian Khuzestan.)
The largest war that Iran caused directly is the Iranian-Baloch insurgency. Repression of Baloch rights in the southeast of the country has led the Baloch to take up arms against the Republican Guard which had previously been harassing them. Similar confrontations occurred nearly 70 years ago in northwestern Iran as concerns the Kurds.
Hezbollah and, more recently, Hamas have direct funding from Iran along with objectives attached to those funds (with which these organizations are all too willing to apply). They have manifested belligerent behavior against Israel such as rocket/missile attacks on civilians and kidnapping of soldiers. Additionally these organizations have also started wars against fellow Lebanese (Hezbollah) and fellow Palestinians and Egyptians (Hamas) in pursuit of increased political power in those places.
Iran directly supports the Assad Regime in Syria which is fighting a relentless war against those Syrians who would wish to see more democratic reforms in the country. Iran urges the Syrians to "fight strongly against those terrorists".

What happened to Sparta after the Persian War?
After the Persian invasion was repelled, Sparta left the ongoing wars and turned its attention to controlling revolts by its large serf population. It headed the Peloponnesian League which came into conflict with Athens after the Persian war was over and Athens turned the Delian League it had led into the war into an empire of its own. This conflict led to the Peloponnesian War in which Athens was defeated and Sparta became the dominant power in the Greek world for the next 30 years, when the constant wars amongst the Greek city-states so weakened Sparta that it was displaced by Thebes, and faded out of power.
How long is a flight from Iran to China?
It really depends on the route you take. If you fly to KL with Iran air and then take a flight to Singapore, It would be around 9-10 hours total but flying to one of the Arab countries from tehran and then going to Singapore might take longer. However it all depends on the weather conditions etc. I have travelled the route quiet a few times never got there in less than 8:40 and the longest took me about 11 coming from s'pore to tehran.
What did the new regime do in Iran in 1979?
When the Shah was deposed in 1979, the country was turned into an Islamic theocracy led by the Ayatollah Khomenei. Under the Shah, other religions were tolerated and free to worship as they pleased. Under theocratic rule, certain religions are actively persecuted, most notably the Baha'i Faith which (among other atrocities) has had its cemeteries bulldozed.

The initial being Cyrus the great, centred in Persepolis. this was around 2500 thousand years ago! EVEN BEFORE THAT, there were several other empires, including the Elam empire, which was a separate empire ruling before this time. So yes, iran is older than any European country, and the Roman Empire.
How might Persian wars have ended if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?
The slowing of the Persia advance was to force a sea battle in the nearby strait at Artemesia in an attempt to destroy the Persian fleet. As this sea battle failed, the three day delay at Thermopylae had no overall significance.
The invasion was turned back at the subsequent battles of Salamis, Plataia and Mycale.
What are some of the ways the Shah tried to Westernize Iran?
Pahlavi Westernization in Iran took on a number of particular aspects:
Loss of Political Influence for the Clerics: A number of Pahlavi political reforms were done to increase the secularization of the Iranian States and, as a result, the Muslim clergy, which had historically had a large role in governance had their political roles minimized. In their stead, university-educated and Western-thinking individuals were given power over non-religious disciplines (such as science, technology, and education). Religious organization was sublimated to the government and only government-acceptable religion was tolerated. Islamic Laws were eliminated from the national legal codex and Western-inspired laws were placed there instead.
Western Education: Under the Pahlavi Shahs the focus of education shifted towards secular knowledge and sciences as opposed to religious education. The Pahlavis sought to echo the kind of modernization and diminishing of religiosity that similar moves in Europe had accomplished. The Pahlavis also supported Iranians who wanted to be educated in foreign countries and bring new expertise to Iran.
Western Values: The Pahlavis sought out the social values of the West and decided to implement them. These included radical de-veiling of women, valuing a person more often by his productivity than by his character and humility, and a stress on industry. The goal was to promote Western-style thinking in Iran and remove Islamic thinking, which was considered regressive and backwards.
Industrial Growth: The Pahlavis wanted to bring Iran out of third-world status and make it a strong, powerful country. In order to do this, he needed investment from the West and capital to start exportation of key natural resources (especially petroleum). As a result, he colluded with British interests to create the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company that was effectively a British company that paid small royalties to Iran for the pleasure of petroleum extraction on Iranian soil.
What was the result of the Iranian revolution of 1979?
Iranian Revolution (1978-79) resulted in the end of Pahlavi Dynasty in Iran and establishment of a radical Shiite Islamic state. The resultant Islamic state in Iran has had very stormy relationship with western world. There have been accusations of terrorism sponsoring from USA and its allies against Iran and Iran blames west for promoting unrest in region and trying to hurt Iranian interests. Several economic and military sanctions have been applied on Iran and its nuclear program has been under the microscope for quite sometime now.
Yes. But, it is unclear who their gods were? One thing is certain, while that culture of their's from back then was originally polytheistic and similar to Hinduism, it was not Hinduism, and it was not Mesopotamian/Babylonian polytheism either. Whatever the names of their gods were, and whatever they were capable of, though, remains unclear.
