Yes. Iraq is west of central Iran, and Afghanistan is east of central Iran.

Countries in a left-to-right row are Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

It was both a commercial highway and a fast transit message route with relays of horses in posting houses stationed at intervals to facilitate faster flow of information.

Highly unlikely.

The situation between Israel and Iran is significantly more volatile than the situation between Scotland and England. This is especially unlike since Scotland will likely break away from the UK peacefully, and this might happen as soon as next year if the country votes for it.

Only low life American girls, if any, choose Iranian boys. In general, white girls dont like Iranian and Indian boys. Whites find them ugly and too hairy. I am not being racist, i have heard this 100 times now. The matter is not related to being dark though, for white girls do like black and latin boys.

second half of June until first half of September are summer months in Iran.

It refers to Iranian crude oil, so it is oil from Iran.

Japan gave the serial killers hitory with 12 serial killers to date.

The tradition of Santa Claus doen't really exist in Iraq- the vast majority of the nation's population are Muslims of either Sunni or Shia persuasion, and although they believe that Christ was one of the prophets, they don't believe that he was The Messiah. Thus Christmas is not kept by Iraqi Muslims other than by remembering it as the birthday of an important religious figure as part of their daily prayers in the mosque.

Iraqi Christians, whilst celebrating Christmas, don't have a tradition of Father Christmas. He is really a Western European phenomenon derived from Saint Nicholas, and is not a part of Christian custom outside of the Western world (although in Eastern Europe and Russia, there is an equivalent character called 'Grandfather Frost' who was pretty much the same thing, a jolly old man who was the bearer of gifts). Even in the West, he was traditionally depicted wearing GREEN up until the late 1920s- his costume was changed to red as an advertising technique by the Coca-Cola Company!!

Iran celebrates several types of holidays each year. A few of the holidays are the Martyrdom of Imam Reza, Oil Nationalization Day, and Islamic Republic Day.

Each and everyone of them. It's hot and dry area, even the ones growing crops near watersources have to water their crops time to time.

Although, if you want to nit-pick then I suppose the farmers that are currently in the military do not water crops.

Personally, I say "ee-RAHN". Never "eye-RAN".

Yes. it was part of Iran in past. but today is not in Iran. Iran borders changed during history for war and so on.

Iran is an important country to America because it includes lots of coastol reigons and it had trade development during the civil war.

shah of iran visited of america in 1950

by thingking where are you going to go or and by saying that "don't hostage anybody ecause god did not create us like that"and by taking a look if their is something that is there and by saving our people

Themistocles did not defeat the Persians. He commanded the Athenian contingent which was part of the Greek fleet under command of Spartan admiral Eurobiades which defeated the Persian fleet at the battle of Salamis in 480 BCE.

Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan and very close to Russia (Caspian sea)

Basically, when Reagan was president, he allowed the US to trade weapons to Iran in exchange for six US hostages who were being held. This was a problem because Reagan did this in secret and didn't have the authority to do it. After everyone found out what happened, Reagan flip-flopped for a while about whether or not he should claim that he knew what was going on. Then, when investigators tried to figure out exactly what had happened, it was discovered that Reagan's administration had withheld and destroyed evidence regarding the scandal.

That's the short and sweet summary. (:

If you have some time to waste or need more information, here's a more complete description of what happened.

The original plan was to ship weapons to more moderate, influential political groups in Iran, and then the US would resupply Israel and receive payment. In return, the Iranian political groups promised to do everything they could to free six US hostages.

Modifications to this plan were made by Oliver North of the National Security Council in 1985; the new plan involved a portion of the proceeds from the weapons sale being diverted to fund anti-Sandinista and anti-communist rebels, or Contras, in Nicaragua. Basically, they claimed this change was "in the name of democracy". Reagan supported the "Contra cause", but no real evidence has been found showing that he authorized this change.

After the weapons sales were revealed (in 1986), Reagan claimed that the exchange had occurred, but that the arms were not exchanged for the hostages. Later, he denied this and said that he had no recollection of doing so, although no one really knows exactly what Reagan knew or when.

Both the House and the Senate created Iran-Contra Investigations committees to look into the circumstances surrounding the scandal. The committees found several legal violations; Reagan failed to report the first arms sale and authorized them through Israeli mediators and "oral findings" which were not authorized by intelligence oversight requirements. Reagan and members of his administration signed several other findings authorizing the sale of weapons to Iran but later denied or destroyed this evidence.

No investigations uncovered evidence that Reagan himself knew the extent of the dealings with Iran. But in the end, fourteen administration officials were indicted. Eleven convictions resulted, some of which were vacated on appeal. The rest of those indicted or convicted were all pardoned in the final days of the George H. W. Bush presidency. :P

So..... that's pretty much it. Did that help?

This stuff has been around long before us and likely will be there long after. A middle east moderate is someone who only carries a grudge for six generations.

Additionally, most of the movement in gas prices in the last decade was much more highly correlated with the US War in Iraq than any of Israel's political wrangling.
