Crap., I was dead wrong on that one, thanks for pointing that out Larry...

..although I didnt take your word for it ;-)

from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran
Iran as a land and a nation has one of the oldest histories in the
world, extending nearly 6,000 years,[3] and throughout history, Iran
has been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in
Eurasia. Iran is a founding member of the UN, NAM, OIC, OPEC, and ECO.
Iran is a regional power in Southwest Asia and occupies an important
position in the world economy due to its large reserves of petroleum
and natural gas.[4] The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan and literally
means "Land of the Aryans".
