well, Iran has existed. It is a derivation of the term Arya or “aryan” which means “noble one” which is what was used by primitive Aryanic peoples. That is the root of the word Eire and even “iron” and the ancient Alans (modern day Ossetians)
Yes, I know, but the modern Iran is a fairly recent construct. The Medes and Persians were Aryan.
