Iran

It is evident that Iran's efforts are focused both on uranium enrichment and a parallel plutonium effort. Iran claims it is trying to establish a complete nuclear fuel cycle to support a civilian energy program, but this same fuel cycle would be applicable to a nuclear weapons development program. Iran appears to have spread their nuclear activities around a number of sites to reduce the risk of detection or attack. This seems to be the reason.

Generally they were in opposition and sometimes at war.

At times some of the Greek city-states were allies of Persia. At other times Persia ruled large numbers of Greek cities and tried to keep them peaceful with mixed success.

Un sanctions plus additional sanctions by the US preventing iran trading it's oil. Meanwhile those imposing these sanctions think that they can ship oil from other oil producing countries thru the strait of hormuz which is Iran's territorial waters.

It stood mainly intact until the 16th Century when, during the Venetian attack on athens, an wonderful French artillery officer with the Venetians demonstrated his skill by lobbing a shel into the roof of the Parthenon. It his a Turkish gunpowder magazine inside and blew up the roof.

In the early 19th Century, visiting Lord Elgin paid Turkish officials to let him take the marble statues which had fallen on the ground home with him to England, which saved many of them from the fate of those left behind.

In the 20th Century the Greek government ignored the buildings and the acid rains caused by rampant pollution ate away the remaining statues, which lost their faces. Following international outcry, these were hidden away in a warehouse and replaced by copies of the ones in England taken by Lord Elgin. The cries by Greece for return of the Elgin marbles should be looked at in this context - the Greeks call for return of their heritage, but what remains intact is a result of their removal in the bad old days.

It was the revolution in Iran in year 1979 against the reign of Shah Iran Reda Bahalwi. Accordingly, the Islamic Republic in Iran was established.

the establishment of Shīʿite Islam as the state religion of Iran was a major factor in the emergence of a unified national consciousness among the various ethnic and linguistic elements of the country in the safavid dynasty.besides,the population of shiite begin to develop.

The main factor to be considered is if Iran starts to trade in a different currency and also how threatening their presence becomes to Israel..

If they are going to attack, I think 2008 will definitely be the year. There are too many facts the current U.S administration needs to consider... At this time its all bluff and war games and political muscle being tensed.. Also if you compare Iran to Iraq.. there are huge differences as you can see in population and total Area. So attacking Iran is definitely not an easy option.. The current U.S administration is losing popularity twice as fast as any other Middle Eastern or communist country.. So gaining support will be extremely crucial in countering Iran's growing power in the region.. facts speak for themselves.

But the US also said their were gonna be WMDs in Iraq.....

When Xerxes's army invaded Greece, the army had to go through a mountain pass called Thermopylae. The Greek army consisted of 4,000 soldiers.

For seven days, the Greeks held back the Persians, and the last three of those days were full on battle. However, a Greek traitor told the Persians of a way to pass around the Greeks. When King Leonidas of Sparta, who was the leader of the Greek army, found out that they were to be surrounded, he dismissed most of the army, remaining to defend the pass with only 300 Spartans, 400 Thebans, and 700 Thespians, and perhaps a few hundred others. Nearly all of those who stayed back were killed by the Persian army, but they helped to delay the Persian army and give the retreating Greeks enough time to escape.

Whether the actions of Leonidas and the Spartans helped in Athens's final victory at Salamis I don't know, but he and his brave army did save the lives of thousands of Greeks.

Iranians or Persians.

Note: Iranian is a national term, that is to say what passport a person holds would be Iranian. Persian is an ethnic term and refers to the dominant ethnicity in Iran. (The equivalent in the United States would be American and White respectively.) There are numerous Iranians who are not Persians such as the Azeri, the Awaji Arabs, the Turcomans, the Qashqai and others. (The United States equivalent would be African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc.)
