Iran is an ancient country located in Western Asia with a population of over 80 million people. It has been home to various civilizations for thousands of years and was once ruled by the powerful Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great. In modern times, Iran is an Islamic republic led by a Supreme Leader and President. It has significant geopolitical influence in the region but also engages in conflicts with other countries like Saudi Arabia and tensions with the United States over its nuclear program. The country's Shia Islamic beliefs incorporate ideas about the eventual return of the Mahdi, which influences its domestic and foreign policies.
