Let me have the pleasure to introduce you with a famous ancient culture of Persia also called as the land of Aryans, which was renamed as Iran in 1939. Iran is situated in central Eurasia and borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan on their eastern sides, which involved pre-Islamic and the mother of dominating races. In histories, Persian culture was one of the most intellectual and deep nourished culture of the world, that posses Great War stories, great literatures of the world, largest theater of middle East in its heart City Tehran, hence such a fascinating history of Persia.

Iranian Philosophy which is a mix of great philosopher's teaching, reflect ancient tradition and rituals of Iran. Two main philosophical traditions of that era in Persia were The Illumination School and the Transcendent Philosophy. Nasir al-Din Tusi, Muhammad ibn zakaria a-Razi, Abu yaqub al-sijistani, Qutb Al- Din Shirazi, Zoroaster, Jamasp, iranshahri, farabi, Avicenna , suhrawardi, nasir khusraw, biruni, Mir Damad, Mulla Sadra, Mir Fenderski, and Hadi Sabzevari are amazingly awesome contributors of Persian philosophy.

Iranian Music is another aspect which is important to be explored when we are talking about cultures of Iran. Persian music has close resemblance with the musical arenas of Middle East and Indian music too. And, to learn Persian music is not a simple task, like most of the other music of the world, it requires aural transmissions and learning.

Iranian Cinema has flourished in modern era and talking in wide prospects, it posses the main stream directors and writers like Paulo Coelho whose Alchemist gained world wide popularity and so the further published books such and Eleven Minutes, The Zahir, Brida, The Winners Stand Alone etc. ultimately, he gained recognition and love around the world. Abbas kiarostami the famous director of Iran has contributed to Iranian Cinema impeccably. Iranian cinema is a mixture of private and state owned as well, and most important, every thing needs to be approved by the ministry of culture and Islamic guidance before being released to the public. Again the "www" i.e. Internet have become extremely popular among Persian youth, as a result Iran music is the world's fourth largest country of bloggers.

Talking about the recent image of Iran, it figures out to be the most urgent foreign policy crisis on the agenda for the international community in 2006. Under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, blatantly quarrelsome foreign policy was made, implicating with which the Iranian regime has quickly made a carefully calculated move to project its virulent Islamic fundamentalist ideology to Muslim countries throughout the Middle East and beyond.

As for example, numerous US policy gurus forecasted that a democratic Iraq will moderate Iranian behavior and stimulate change in Iran. As of now, though, it has become clear that as long as Islamic theocratic rule sways in Iran, Iraq's burgeoning democracy is in danger of being derailed by Iran. The way of democracy in Iraq goes by Iran and not the other way around.

Concluding, Persian culture proved to be a fascinating culture of the world, but in recent times it has emerged as a treat to the peace of the world.
