Iran Flag

The 18th largest country in the world in terms of area at 1,648,195 km², Iran has a population of over seventy million. It is a country of special geostrategic significance due to its central location in Eurasia. Iran is bordered on the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. As Iran is a littoral state of the Caspian Sea, which is an inland sea and condominium, Kazakhstan and Russia are also Iran's direct neighbors to the north. Iran is bordered on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, on the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, and on the west by Turkey and Iraq. Tehran is the capital, the country's largest city and the political, cultural, commercial, and industrial center of the nation. Iran is a regional power, and occupies an important position in international energy security and world economy as a result of its large reserves of petroleum and natural gas.

Iran is home to one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating back to 4000 BC. The Medes unified Iran into a kingdom in 625 BC. They were succeeded by three Iranian dynasties, the Achaemenids, Parthian and Sassanid, which governed Iran for more than 1000 years. After centuries of foreign occupation and short-lived native dynasties, Iran was once again reunified as an independent state in 1551 by the Safavid dynasty — who promoted Shia Islam as the official religion of their empire, marking one of the most important turning points in the history of Islam. Iran had been a monarchy ruled by a Shah, or emperor, almost without interruption from 1501 until the 1979 Iranian Revolution, when Iran officially became an Islamic republic on 1 April 1979.

Iran is a founding member of the UN, NAM, OIC and OPEC. The political system of Iran, based on the 1979 Constitution, comprises several intricately connected governing bodies. The highest state authority is the Supreme Leader. Shia Islam is the official religion and Persian is the official language. Read More at Wikipedia

Iran has several private and public airline companies in operation. The oldest is Iran Air. Most of the fleet of Iranian airlines today consist of old Boeings and used or leased Airbus and Russian manufactured aircraft such as Tupoleve. Sanctions from the United States prevents Iran from purchasing most new western made aircraft to update its rapidly aging fleet.Iran has however initiated manufacturing aircraft on its own such as the IRAN-140.

Around the world flight

Farhad Rostampour is an Iranian-American pilot.

On July 18, 2007, Farhad Rostampour, a US-based pilot, completed a record setting flight around the world in his single engine airplane. He flew 34000 miles around the globe, landed in 21 countries and made 43 landing in major international airports. Farhad is the first Iranian-born pilot to complete a record setting flight around the world.

This flight is known as the Freedomflight, with the mission of making the global connection of peace, freedom, hope and achievement through aviation. Rostampour’s goal was to reach out to young Iranians and help them recognize that they too have alternatives and hope for a better future.
