Persia and Iran, huh? Are they next to each other? Have they ever had wars?

Don't say anything unless you have something to say.

Not sure if you are joking or not. Persia is Iran. There's actually some interesting history there too. The Shah insisted on changing the name of the country from Persia to Iran as part of a campaign to reduce the influence of Islam in the affairs of the state. Iran is actually the Farsi word for Ayran, the race that the Persians believe themselves descended from. The original Shah was emphasizing the pre-conquest aspects of Iran to help loosen the grip of the Mullah over the society. Unfortunately reformers are always much more vulnerable to revolution than tyrants. Ask Gorbachev, Louis XIV, or Tsar Nicholas III
