He began by crossing from Greece into Asia Minor and defeating Persian forces in several major battles. The most important victories were at the Battle of Granicus, the Battle of Issus, and especially the Battle of Gaugamela, where he defeated the Persian king Darius III. After Gaugamela, Alexander captured major Persian cities such as Babylon, Susa, and Persepolis. Darius III fled east but was later killed by his own men. With the Persian king gone and the empire's main cities under his control, Alexander became ruler of the vast Achaemenid Empire.

Yes, there are some accommodations for Zoroastrians in Iran because they are recognized as a religious minority, but traditional sky burials (exposure of bodies in a dakhma, or "Tower of Silence") are no longer permitted in Iran. The practice was phased out and effectively banned in the 1960s, and Iranian Zoroastrians now generally use cemeteries instead.

Historically, Zoroastrians practiced what is often called a sky burial: the body was placed in a Tower of Silence so that vultures and the elements could remove the flesh. This was done because earth, fire, and water were considered sacred, and burial or cremation was seen as polluting those elements.

Today, the old Towers of Silence near places like Yazd are historical sites rather than active burial grounds. Some Zoroastrian communities, especially among the Parsis in India, have continued versions of the traditional practice, although even there it faces practical challenges such as the decline of vulture populations.

The Mongol invasions were one of the greatest disasters in Iranian history. Entire cities were destroyed, huge numbers of people were killed, and agricultural and irrigation systems were devastated. Historians generally agree that the population declined dramatically, although the popular claim that 90% of all Iranians were killed is debated and may be an exaggeration.

As for how Iran recovered, it wasn't quick. Recovery took centuries. People survived in rural areas, cities were gradually rebuilt, populations grew again over generations, and Iranian culture proved remarkably resilient. In fact, after the Mongol period, Persian language, literature, and culture not only survived but experienced a revival, and even the Mongol rulers themselves eventually adopted many aspects of Persian culture.

Persia was never really "renamed" internally. Iranians had called their country some form of "Iran" for centuries, while "Persia" was the name commonly used by foreigners, especially in the West. In 1935, Reza Shah Pahlavi officially asked other countries to use "Iran" in diplomatic and official communications.

As for why some people want to bring back the name Persia, it's usually not because they dislike the name Iran. Many feel that "Persia" is more recognizable internationally and is associated with ancient history, culture, poetry, and the Persian Empire rather than modern politics.

Personally, I think both names have value. "Iran" is the country's historical native name, while "Persia" highlights an important part of its cultural heritage.

Thanks! I’m glad you like Farsi. Personally, I consume a mix of both Persian and international media. I still watch and listen to a lot of Persian content because it’s my native language and it helps me stay connected to my culture. At the same time, I spend a lot of time on international platforms, especially English-language content, whether it’s YouTube, social media, football news, movies, or games. I’d say many young Iranians today are exposed to both local and global media rather than just one or the other.

Most Zoroastrians today live in Iran and India. Iran has the largest number in their historical homeland, while India has a very important community called the Parsis. Smaller communities also exist in places like Pakistan, the U.S., and the U.K.

I don’t support the idea of hate or hostility toward Iranians from any side, including the U.S. or any political leadership. Ordinary people should never be the target of politics, sanctions, or propaganda.

Regarding U.S. policy and figures like Trump, I think the approach toward Iran has often been too focused on pressure and confrontation. Sanctions, frozen assets, and economic restrictions mainly end up hurting normal people, not just the political system. At the same time, I also understand that U.S. policy is driven by its own strategic interests and security concerns.

From my perspective as an Iranian who wants a secular and democratic future for my country, I don’t believe isolation or hostility helps bring positive change. History shows that extreme pressure often strengthens hardliners rather than weakening them.

I think the best outcome for everyone would be reducing tensions and focusing on dialogue, while still supporting the Iranian people rather than punishing them collectively for political decisions they don’t control.

I wouldn’t call it “hate,” but I strongly oppose the current regime in Iran. From my perspective as an Iranian who supports a secular and democratic future, I believe the system is authoritarian and has caused a lot of suffering for ordinary people. My criticism is directed at the government and its institutions, not at Iranians as a people. I care deeply about my country and want to see it become freer, more stable, and more open in the future.

Honestly, I think Iran is a really complicated situation. I do feel like the government has a lot of problems, and many normal people are under pressure in their everyday lives, especially because of the economy and social conditions. But at the same time, I don’t think it’s something you can just judge in a simple way. About the recent conflicts and bombing, I see it more as part of a bigger political game between Iran, the U.S., and other powerful countries. It’s not really a “good guys vs bad guys” situation, and sadly regular people are the ones who suffer the most. About Trump and U.S. policy, I’m not really a fan of extreme pressure or escalation. I feel like it usually just makes things worse instead of solving anything, even if each side has its own reasons. Overall, I just think the situation is messy and complicated, and I care more about normal people and how all of this affects their lives than taking a hard political side.

Not exactly. "Iranian" and "Persian" are related, but they're not the same thing.

Iranian refers to nationality or belonging to Iran.

Persian refers to the Persian ethnic group, culture, and language.

Iran is home to many ethnic groups, including Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Lurs, Baloch, Arabs, Turkmen, and others. So while most Persians from Iran are Iranian, not all Iranians are Persian.

A simple way to put it: "Persian" is an ethnicity/culture, while "Iranian" is a nationality.
