Iran

ایران

Remarks :
The word used to be eran meaning "Land of free people" Habitation in Iran dates back to 100,000 years but recorded history began with the Elamites 3000 BC. The Medes flourished from 728 BC but were overthrown by the Persians around 550 BC, who were in turn conquered by Macedonians in the 4th century BC. The Parthians created an empire that lasted from 247 BC to AD 226, when control passed to the Sassanid dynasty. Various Muslim dynasties ruled from the 7th century. In 1502 the Safavid dynasty was established and lasted until 1736. The Qajar dynasty ruled from 1779, but in the 19th century the country was economically controlled by Russian and British empires. Reza Khan seized power in a coup in 1921. His son Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was overthrown in 1979; Shiitte cleric Ruhollah Khomeini then set up an Islamic republic.

Iran Contra Affair

رسوایی فروش مخفیانه تسلیحات

Remarks :
U.S. political scandal ; In 1985 Robert McFarlane, head of the National Security Council, authorized sales of weapons to Iran in an attempt to secure the release of U.S. hostages held in Lebanon by Hezbollah. The deal contravened U.S. stated policy. At the instigation of Oliver North, a NSC staff member, and with the approval of John M. Poindexter, part of the $48 million paid by Iran for the arms was diverted to the Nicaraguan contras, in direct violation of a 1984 law banning such assistance to contras. The Contra was a counter-revolutionary force that sought to overthrow Nicaragua's left-wing Sandinista government. A Senate investigation resulted in the conviction of North and Poindexter on charges of obstructing justice and related offenses, though their convictions were later overturned on the ground that testimony given at their trials had been influenced by information they had supplied to Congress under a limited grant of immunity. Ronald Reagan accepted responsibility for the arms-for-hostages deal but denied any knowledge of the diversion.
