...one who worships fire and certain legendary individuals of the pre-Ancient past. Try the keyword "Zarathustra" in a search for background material.

And BTW, Zorastrianism is current extremely rare in Iran.

Zoroastrianism was a religion in Asia - found in Persia (now Iran) in particular. It is often thought by historians to be the first montheistic religion.

Zoroastrianism is the spiritual foundation of the Persian culture and is extant in India. Its metaphysic views good and evil in a perfectly balanced eternal struggle. It is explicitly not coherent with Judeo Christian tradition. It is, nontheless, not belligerent and its adherents, such as the Bahai, choose to remain at peace with others.
