2500 years ago was the beginning of the Achaemenid Empire, not the begining of Iran history. Actually, Iran's history goes back to about 7000 BC.

His voice is incredible. I want him to read all history to me. Great talk! Facts.

Since I had a brief meeting with an Iranian woman in London and the UK held the Oil Tanker in Gibraltar I found that Iran is indeed an interesting Country. And I find I like the people. Respect to the Persian people. (from an Englishman).

@@PolishBehemoth That is impossible! What you need to understand is that they had plenty of opportunity to do so. The Arabs conquered Persia by force, but it took several generations for the majority of the Persians to convert to Islam. The Persians then ruled the Muslim world under the Abbasid caliphate. The Abbasid caliphate was Arab by name, but Persian by political and religious elite. The Persians themselves spread Islam to Afghanistan, Tajikistan and other places. So they could have shunned and destroyed everything that Islam came with while they were the rulers. But they didn't! The "Islamic golden age" of knowledge that people talk about was because of the Persians, not the Arabs. The biggest loss to mainstream/sunni Islam was losing the Persians to the Shia doctrine. I have to admit the Persians are a mighty people with a higher form of civilization. The Persians were sunni Muslims for 900 out of the 1440 years of Islamic history until the Safavids converted them to the Shia faith by Fire and Sword. Although todays Iran is called the "Islamic Republic of Iran", it operates like the Persian empires of old by flexing their muscles in the region and showing everybody who is boss. Today Iran is taking on America, Israel, the European Union and the Arab gulf countries. Its not kneeling or bending to anybody and this comes from the Persian heritage and culture that they inherited from their ancestors. Regardless of your opinions on modern day Iran, you can't help but admire how they built their own military capability and capacity. They have built their own rockets and missiles. Their own Nuclear program. Saudi Arabia on the other hand spends billions of dollars buying weapons from the west.

As an Iranian, I do not call the current regime a government. If Germany has a government, we cannot call the ruling regime also a government. Many of us call it the regime but I even do not consider that right. The Franco system in Spain was a regime, the current system is a coalition of Iran's culturally lowest layers of thieves and looters. They even do not care about the religion they claim to be the followers of. That we should experience this, is exactly what the point of the speech is, the paradox of Persia.

Well done Mr. Milani. In such a short time, you made an excellent introduction to Iran and Persian culture.

it may be interesting for you to know that in Persian literature there is a branch it is called Indian-Persian literature and that's created because poets migrated to India because Muslims kings were killing them and they told them you should compose lyrics for the Imams. So they migrated to India to find a safe place to live. There is a lot of possibility that your forefather was a poert.

This is an important video about the knowledge of Iran.

Now that Mr. Milani calls Iran as a half colony of China and Russia I have one question from him. Was Iran an absolutely independent state during the Shah or it was a "half colony" of the USA and UK?

Nobody could say it better, thanks.

oLD Land, mysterious LAND, RICH HISTORY ,...BUT TIRED LAND,.!

Throughout various periods, Iran has faced different attacks, yet Iranians have consistently risen, stood on their feet, and constructed improved versions of themselves. The Mullahs, despite their own reluctance, played a significant role in Iran by demonstrating the potential horrors of governing a country solely through religious rules. This painful but profoundly valuable experience has been been a huge achievement for all Iranians.
