Iranian Woman
The term Persian women or Iranian women are sometimes used interchangeably,
but refer to women born in Iran or of Iranian decent. But the fact is that not
all Iranian women are Persian, and in fact Persian women are but a small
fraction of the totality of Iranian women who are made up of various
ethnicities, including Kurdish, Baluchi, Turkish (Azeri), Gilaki, Jewish,
Armenian, Assyrian, Arab (Khuzestan), Qashqa'i, Lor, Turkmen, or Persian.

Mohammed Mossadegh
Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh (Persian: محمد مصدق) (May 19, 1882 -
March 5, 1967) was the democratically elected prime minister of Iran from 1951
to 1953. Mossadegh's name is sometimes spelled Mosaddegh or Mosaddeq
(note the doubled "d"), the latter of which better reflects the original Persian
pronunciation (mosæd'deq) and orthography. He was removed from power by Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, and pro-monarchy forces in a complex coup led by
British and US intelligence agencies.
Persian Empire
The term Persian Empire refers to a series of historical empires that ruled
over the Iranian plateau. The political entity which was ruled by these kingdoms
has been known as Iran (lit: Land of Aryans) throughout its own recorded
history.
The Persians
The Persians (Πέρσαι)
is a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus. It is the oldest
surviving play in history. It is also notable for being the only extant Greek
tragedy based on contemporary events.
It was produced in 472 BC along with three other plays, which do not survive,
but which probably also had something to do with the Persian Wars. The first
play, Phineas, was apparently about the mythological figure Phineas, who helped
Jason and the Argonauts pass into Asia. The Persians was the second part. The
play is especially notable in that it is the only surviving ancient Greek
tragedy that is based on an actual historical event, namely the Battle of
Salamis. That battle took place in 480 BC, only eight years before The Persians
was performed. Aeschylus had participated in the battle, and it is likely that
most of his Athenian audience had either fought in the battle or had been
affected by it directly. Glaucus Potnieus, the third part, seems to have been
about the Battle of Plataea of 479 BC. The fourth play, a satyr play, may have
been about Prometheus.
