First time for somebody from Iran, of course. Seems weird, considering we did not get a visitor from Iran even after my infamous "Iranian space monkeys" post which, I admit, may have been infamous only on this site. Still, you know you want to say "Iranian space monkeys" during a conversation.
In any event, we have a visitor from Iran and, while this is not a geography blog -- except when it is -- we must give Iran the Eff You treatment. So here goes.
Iran, formerly known as Persia, is an extremely old civilization, with a settlements dating back to around 8000 BC. One of the world's most mountainous countries, Iran was not blessed by the weather gods, as most of the country is arid or semi-arid, but it is up to its collective schwanzes in oil. Iran is mostly in the news these days as a country trying really hard to develop nuclear weapons so that it can nuke those nasty Jews in Israel out of existence.
