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.

In which modern day country do you find a large population of Persians?
In modern day Persia (Iran) and places like Los Angeles where the number of Persians is significantly high.
By the 5th Century BCE when the conflict between Persia and the eastern Greek city-states began, the Greek cities had spread all around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Only the eastern cities were involved in the conflict. The Persian attempt to force peace on the ever-warring Greek cities failed, and these cities went back to their normal fighting amongst themselves, greatly weakening themselves in the Peloponnesian War between Athens and its empire and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.
The Persians became an interested spectator of this mutual destruction. It took MMacedonia under Philip II to bring them under control, and his son Alexander then carried out his father Philip's plan to seize the Persian Empire.
So the Persian Wars did not greatly affect Western civilisation - that arose on the back of Greek, Macedonian and then Roman control and culture in the West. The Persian Wars are part of history, not civilisation.

Both were in a coalition of southern Greek city-states which defeated a Persian invasion 480-479 BCE.

After too many losses, the Persians agreed to peace and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting each other.
