About Iran
Iran is a country where Persian and several other Iranian languages are spoken. This learning guide uses a small, checked set of facts about Persepolis, Nowruz, carpet weaving in Fars, and population data. It teaches careful cultural English: name the source, keep dates attached to claims, and do not add details that the evidence does not support.
