As I expected, you have a lot of questions about us. Thank you for your beautiful questions and I hope I can give you sensible answers.

[Can you tell us then how is it that a woman ...] = Thank you for your logical question, but unfortunately, I'm not here to talk about the government and the ruling system. I hope you understand what I say, I'm living here
The only thing I can tell you is: we have a great history and the WHOLE HISTORY talks about a people, not a period of time in a history!

[Please distinguish for us the difference between Persian and Iranian] = Yes, Iran is a multi-ethnic country. The Iranian peoples are an Indo-European ethnic-linguistic group, consisting ofthe Persians, Medes, Scythians, Bactrians, Parthians, Sarmatians, Alans, Ossetians and their sub-groups. The term Persia was used for centuries, chiefly in the West, to designate those regions where Persian language and culture predominated, but it more correctly refers to a region of southern Iran formerly known as Persis, alternatively as P?rs or Parsa, modern F?rs. Parsa was the name of an Indo-European nomadic people who migrated into the region about 1000 BC. During the rule of the Persian Achaemenian dynasty (559–330 BC), the ancient Greeks first encountered the inhabitants of Persis on the Iranian plateau, when the Achaemenids—natives of Persis—were expanding their political sphere. The Achaemenids were the dominant dynasty during Greek history until the time of Alexander, and the use of the name Persia was gradually extended by the Greeks and other peoples to apply to the whole Iranian plateau. This tendency was reinforced with the rise of the S?s?nian dynasty, also native to Persis, whose culture dominated the Iranian plateau until the 7th century AD. The people of this area have traditionally referred to the region as Iran, “Land of the Aryans,” and in 1935 the government of Iran requested that the name Iran be used in lieu of Persia.
But Iran has Arab people too, who are living near Persian Gulf.

[I don't think anyone on this board doubts the achievements and contributions of Iranians in our society...] = I agree with you: not all Iranians are modern and it's normal. It's because some of them are very proud, unfortunately.
