The Olympics
It is actually fairly common to see Iranian athletes participate at the Olympic Games. Iran has been sending participants to the competition ever since 1948. Since then, it has only ever missed two occasions to join the Summer Olympic Games.
The Persian Cat
The Persian cat, whose updated name would be the Iranian cat, is one of the oldest cat breeds in the world. They have long been a favorite among cat owners thanks to their beautiful, silky fur. Their unique fur coat has developed as a means of protecting themselves from the cold weather of the Iranian plateaus.
