'''Iran''', officially the '''Islamic Republic of Iran''' (جمهوری اسلامی ايران) is an Islamic theocratic dictatorship in southwest [[Asia]]. Its capital is [[Tehran]] and its official language is Farsi. A historical name for Iran was "'''Persia, '''" which is also the name of the dominant ethnic group.  Iran is suspected by [[Israel]] and her western allies of pursuing nuclear weapons to gain a strategic advantage in a regional cold war against Sunni-majority Saudi Arabia. Israel also accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons for use against Israel, which is hotly denied by Iran's government which claims the program is to be used for peaceful purposes, requiring the enrichment of [[uranium]].
