Thanks...just a little point to note. The proper term is Iranians. The reason they prefer to be called Persian is twofold. First they are aware of the public stigma against Iran and this is one way of disassociating themselves from the image of the Islamic Republic while maintaining their identity. The other reason is historically Iran has been called Persia in the west as a carry over from the ancient Greeks.
