ایران
Historical name for a region roughly coterminous with modern Iran.The term was used for centuries, chiefly in the West, and originally described a region of southern Iran formerly known as Persis , Parsa or Parseh which was the name of an Indo-European nomadic people who migrated into the area 1000 BC; the use of the name was gradually extended by the ancient Greeks and other Western peoples to apply to the whole Iranian plateau. The people of Iran have always called their country Iran, and in 1935 the government requested that the name Iran be used instead of Persia.

Also Known As
APOC
Formed in 1909 as the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., Ltd., to finance an oil-field concession granted by the Iranian government to William Knox D'Arcy, APOC was renamed Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) in 1935 and eventually became the British Petroleum Company (BP) in 1954, as one root of the BP Company today. The British government was for many years BP's largest single stockholder, but by the late 1980s it had turned over the company to private ownership. In 1987 BP consolidated its U.S. interests by acquiring the Standard Oil Co. In 1998 it merged with Amoco (formerly Standard Oil of Indiana) to form BP-Amoco.

جنگ خلیج فارس
Also Known As
Gulf War First, Persian Gulf War I
(1990–91) International conflict triggered by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait claiming that it was historically part of Iraq in August 1990, Saddam Hussein desired to acquire Kuwait's rich oil fields and expand its power in the region. The United States who had primarily shown a green light, eventually formed a broad coalition including some Arab countries, and began massing troops in northern Saudi Arabia. When Iraq ignored a UN Security Council deadline to withdraw from Kuwait, the coalition began a large-scale air offensive (Jan. 16-17, 1991). Saddam responded by launching ballistic missiles against neighbouring coalition states as well as Israel. A ground offensive by the coalition (February 24-28) quickly achieved victory. Estimates of Iraqi military deaths range up to 100,000; coalition forces lost about 300 troops. The war also caused extensive damage to the region's environment. The Iraqi regime subsequently faced widespread popular uprisings, specially among Shiite and Kurdish population which it brutally suppressed. George W. Bush always regretted his father's decision not to move ahead and take Saddam down, although Washngton benefitted a lot from Saddam Hussein in containing Iran's revolution during the 8 year Iran-Iraq War. A UN trade embargo remained in effect after the end of the conflict, pending Iraq's compliance with the terms of the armistice. The foremost term was that Iraq destroy its nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs. The embargo continued into the 21st century and ceased only after the Second Persian Gulf War.
