Iran

Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating back to 4000 BCE. The Medes unified Iran as a nation and empire in 625 BCE. The Achaemenid Empire (550–۳۳۰ BCE) was the first of the Persian empires to rule from the Balkans to North Africa and also Central Asia from their capital in Persis (Persepolis). They were succeeded by the Seleucid Empire, Parthians and Sassanids who governed Iran for almost 1,000 years. The Islamic conquest of Persia (633–۶۵۶) ended the Sassanid Empire and was a turning point in Iranian history.

Islamicization in Iran took place during 8th to 10th century.  And led to the eventual decline of the Zoroastrian religion in Persia. However, the achievements of the previous Persian civilizations were not lost, but were to a great extent absorbed by the new Islamic polity and civilization.

After centuries of foreign occupation and short-lived native dynasties. Iran was once again reunified as an independent state in 1501 by the Safavid dynasty which established Shi’a Islam as the official religion of their empire.  Marking one of the most important turning points in the history of Islam.

Iran had been a monarchy ruled by a shah, or emperor, almost without interruption from 1501 until the 1979 Iranian revolution, when Iran officially became an Islamic Republic on 1 April 1979
