How did the Persians influence Indian civilization?
This is known a Indo-persian culture, as the name suggests its a mix of the two cultures, which already had similarities.
The culture was influenced mostly through the use of language.
Many of the Sultans and nobility in the Sultanate period were Persianised Turks from Central Asia who spoke Turkic languages as their mother tongues. The Mughals were also from Persianized Central Asia, but spoke Chagatai Turkic as their first language at the beginning, before eventually adopting Persian. Persian became the preferred language of the Muslim elite of north India. Muzaffar Alam, a noted scholar of Mughal and Indo-Persian history, suggests that Persian became the lingua franca of the empire under Akbar for various political and social factors due to its non-sectarian and fluid nature. The influence of these languages on Indian Apabhramshas led to a vernacular that is the ancestor of today's Urdu, Hindi, and Hindustani."
Persian hold on western India from about 500 BCE was tenuous and relatively short-lived. It had no significant effect as it was ruled by its own petty kings and tribal leaders under a Persian provincial governor whose job was to keep the peace and collect taxes, and retained its local customs, culture and languages.
The Mauryan Empire expanded west in the late 3rd Century BCE swallowed up western India and imposed its culture.

Why did the Iran Hostage Crisis end on the day that Ronald Reagan became President of the US?
Negotiations related to release started during Carter's administration and involved giving the Iranian government $11-12 billion in Iranian assets that Carter had frozen 10 days after the seizure of the U.S. embassy. The Iranians feared having to start over when Reagan took office and were thus willing to release the hostages. They, therefore, released the hostages just as Reagan took power.
What are three countries that touch Iran?
The three countries that border Iran are Pakistan, Afganistan Turkmenistan, and Iraq.
Iraq was one of several regions that came under the historic control of Persia on different occasions. However, these regions were never called "Persia". Iraq generally went by the name "Mesopotamia".
The historic country of Persia is properly identified with the modern Islamic Republic of Iran, which is its successor-state (post-revolution).
What was Iraq and Iran before?
Your question is not very clear. I assume you mean to ask about what other names these two territories have been known by throughout history. Iraq has always been known as "Iraq" in Arabic (we're talking at least 1500 years, probably more). In European languages, however, the area was usually known as MESOPOTAMIA. In the Bible, I suppose the terms BABYLONIA or CHALDEA are used to refer to Iraq (or at least the southern half of it. The northern part would be ASSYRIA). Iranians maintain that their land has always been called "Iran" in their native language as well. However, most other people used the term PERSIA. Today, PERSIA (or "Fars", to use the local pronunciation), is merely one province in southwestern Iran.
