1. Naam:<\/strong>\u00a0De offici\u00eble naam van Iran is de Islamitische Republiek Iran. Het land werd een islamitische republiek toen het koninklijke regime in 1979 werd omvergeworpen en vervangen door een klerikaal regime (de Iraanse Revolutie) onder Ayatollah Khomeini.<\/p>\n

2. De oorsprong van de naam:<\/strong>\u00a0De naam 'Iran' betekent 'Land van de Ari\u00ebrs' in het Perzisch. In de loop van de geschiedenis werd Iran vaak 'Perzi\u00eb' genoemd, wat is afgeleid van de Griekse geschiedschrijvingsterm 'Persis'.<\/p>\n

3. Internet:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2012 kondigde de Iraanse politiechef aan dat Google een spionagemiddel was. Daarnaast wil de Iraanse regering een 'nationaal internet' cre\u00ebren dat onder staatscontrole staat.<\/p>\n

4. Luchtvervuiling:<\/strong>\u00a0De Iraanse hoofdstad Teheran is een van de meest luchtvervuilde steden ter wereld. Naar schatting sterven er elke dag 27 mensen aan ziekten die verband houden met luchtvervuiling.<\/p>\n

5. Exportgoederen:<\/strong>\u00a0Iran is een van 's werelds grootste producenten van kaviaar, pistachenoten en saffraan. De kaviaarproductie is afkomstig van steur uit de Kaspische Zee, waar Iran 50% van de kaviaarmarkt in handen heeft.<\/p>\n

Feit: Luchtvervuiling in de Iraanse hoofdstad Teheran veroorzaakt dagelijks ongeveer 27 doden.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Olie:<\/strong>\u00a0De Perzische Golf - of Perzische Golf zoals hij ook wel wordt genoemd - bevat 60% van alle oliereserves ter wereld. Iran bezit ongeveer 10% van deze reserves en pompt dagelijks ongeveer 4 miljoen vaten olie op.<\/p>\n

7. Tapijten:<\/strong>\u00a0Iraanse tapijten zijn wereldberoemd om hun kwaliteit en tapijten zijn het op \u00e9\u00e9n na meest ge\u00ebxporteerde product van Iran (na olie). Tapijten worden in Iran al meer dan 2.500 jaar geweven en wevers maken meestal expres een klein foutje in elk tapijt omdat \"alleen God perfect is\".<\/p>\n

8. Paleolithicum:<\/strong>\u00a0De vroegste archeologische vondsten in Iran wijzen erop dat de mens al sinds de vroegste steentijd (Paleolithicum 2,5 miljoen jaar geleden tot ongeveer 300.000 jaar geleden) in het gebied aanwezig is. Het is ook bekend dat agrarische samenlevingen in Iran begonnen te bloeien rond 8.000 voor Christus.<\/p>\n

9. Geschiedenis:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1953 was de CIA betrokken bij een geheime operatie genaamd 'Operatie Ajax', waarbij de VS en het Verenigd Koninkrijk de democratisch gekozen premier Mohammed Masaddegh uit de macht zetten. Door dit complot kon de Sjah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi de enige heerser van het land worden. In 1979 werd de Sjah omvergeworpen en vervangen door een klerikaal regime (de Iraanse Revolutie) onder Ayatollah Khomeini, die vandaag de dag nog steeds aan de macht is.<\/p>\n

10. Irangate\/Iran-Contra:<\/strong>\u00a0Tijdens de oorlog tussen Iran en Irak in 1980-1988 steunden de VS officieel Irak, maar oefenden ze druk uit op andere landen om te stoppen met de verkoop van wapens aan Iran. Later werd echter ontdekt dat de VS zelf in het geheim wapens had verkocht aan Iran. Deze affaire werd bekend als het Irangate of Iran-Contra schandaal.<\/p>\n

Haft S\u00een - of de 7 \"S'en\" - is een Iraanse nieuwjaarstraditie waarbij 7 objecten allemaal beginnen met de letter 'S' in het Perzische alfabet. De voorwerpen symboliseren 7 creaties die worden beschermd door heilige onsterfelijken.
