Iran

Reza Shah Pahlavi

The Strait of Hormuz. And it's the Persian Gulf; Persia is the old name for Iran.

The Safavid and Ottoman dynasties were both of Turkish ethnicity. The Safavid empire extended from the Caucasia ( Armenia, Azeribijan, etc.) to India, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and parts of central Asia and the Caspian Sea.The Ottoman empire, on the other hand, ruled the the rest of the Islamic empire (Middle East, Balkans, and North Africa).

The Ottoman empire was older and stronger than the young Safavid empire, but the Ottomans were alarmed as the Safavid strength and influence grew and felt their interest was threatened. Moreover, the Safavid followed Shia Islam, while the Ottoman people were followers of Sunni/Sufi Islam.

But the main reasons for the conflict are rather political than for sectarian religious factors as many try to force this idea of Sunni/Shia conflict.

As the Safavid empire grew, it pushed its territories as far as Iraq and eastern Turkey, carving for itself a considerable chunk of Ottoman territory. This was the point when the Ottomans felt in danger and waged war on their cousins the Safavid.

Probably a long time my guess would be anywhere from 2 weeks to a month but it's just a guess. I think this because it has to go over the Atlantic but also Iran is definitely a shaky area so it may take longer. If your sending it to troops that may make it a bit faster.

historian believe that shah Abbas period is most flourished time in this dynasty.In other word Shah Abbab had two accomplishments.one is the fornmality of shiite sect in the whole territory of the dynasty and other concerns with spreading of borders of Safavid dynast in term of goo policies .

in this period,shiism in the 10th/16th and 11th/17th century, ismail who was of the household of shaykh safi al-Din Ardaili(d.735/1334)a Sufi master and also a siite,begn a revolt in Ardabil,with three hundred Sufis who were disciples of his forefathers,with the aim of establishing an independent and powerful Shiite country. in this way,he begn the conquest of the Persia and overcme the local feudal princess.after the series of the bloody wars with ocal rulers and also the Ottomans who held the title of the caliph,he succeeded in forming Persia piece by piece into a country nd in making the shism the official religion in his kingdom.after the death of the Shah Ismail ,other Safavid kings reigned in Persia until the 12th/18th century and each continued to recognize shism as the official religion of the country and further to strengthen its hold upon this land.at the height of their power,during the reign of Shah Abbas,the Safavids were able to increase the territorial expansion and the population of Persia to twice its present size.as for other muslim lands.the Shiites popultions continued the same as before and increased only throough the natural growth of population

The Athenians were not at the battle of Thermopylae, but were aboard their warships - hey had sent their families for sanctuary in Peloponnesian cities. The Persians took over Athens and used it as a base while the Greek fleet assembled at Salamis, where it where it met and defeated the Persian fleet.

The Persians first took over the Medes, and used the combined strength to takeover progressively Babylon, Assyria, then the Levant, Asia Minor and Central Asia.

The 52 American hostages, originally detained on November 4, 1979, were released to the United States on January 20, 1981. The release was announced just moments after the newly elected President, Ronald Reagan, took his official oath of office. It is not known whether the Iranians intentionally delayed the negotiations until Carter left office.

When the Persians conquered a city-state they let the conquered people keep their own belief system and religion so there were no revolts. This kept Persia peaceful. Also, the Persian people were very A-political meaning politics were not as important as living their own lives to the fullest. However in the Greco-Persian wars this led to their downfall because the Greeks government was a lot stronger. They also lost this war because the Persians were attacking and the Greeks had more to fight for, homeland, family, government, etc, while the Persians were ill trained due to the governments lack of magnitude. They were able to conquered so much in their prime because they had conquered many city states and had an amazing huge army.

No. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers run through Iraq.

The symbol on the Iranian flag means two things. It spells "Allah" (Al-llah, "the creator"), although it does demand some creativity in order to see this. Secondly, it represents the double-edged sword of Ali, a highly revered figure to Shiites. The "W" looking symbol over the middle of the symbol is called a "shadda" or "tashdid", which basically doubles the letter that is beneath it, or places extra emphasis on it. This allows for "Allah" to be spelled correctly, and also "doubles" the "blade" of Ali's sword.

Among opponents of Ayatollah Khomeini, there is also a sort of conspiracy theory that suggests he is actually a Sikh; Khomeini grew up in a province with a large Sikh minority, and the Sikh symbol does bear a significant resemblance to the symbol on Iran's flag. However, it is more likely he simply found the symbol aesthetically pleasing.
