Imagine what the Iranians would be without a certain unnameable religion governing their lives. :/ An interesting tidbit of the human migration is that the first of man to to really really really settle, thrive and live in Eastern Europe and the northern Germanic areas more than likely migrated from steppes of modern day Iran/Afghanistan to the northwest. Our dope ancestors from those area woulda been a helluva more advanced, than they once already were had the setback of al ha snack bar not happened. Before one starts getting upset, I’m not saying 100% from the area. I’m saying some of the first to the Germanic areas were from the areas of Iran/Afghanistan. This isn’t a theory, it’s not based on linguistics either, strictly based on DNA haplogroups which has shown that in-fact the nearest common ancestor most northern Europeans have in common, came from the aforementioned areas first. Hence the %s are minimal but date accurately to support the archeological evidence.

What about the part about how difficult it is to supply a war effort across the Zagros mountains? And the part about how difficult it is for Iran to have naval power because of the easily blockaded Hormuz? Iran's geography gives it only one benefit. It can't be moved from that one spot. Otherwise, it is incredibly difficult for Iran to actually expand it's size and influence. All they have now is oil located in an area that could easily be taken from them.

I’m 64 and originally from Iran but spent most of my life in the states… close to 50 years of it. I started traveling to Iran, learning about it, and its culture after my retirement a few years ago. I couldn’t disagree more with the findings and the title of this video. Iran’s unique geography is its greatest strength imho. There are major roads throughout its numerous mountain ranges to satisfy their commercial or military requirements while making the mainland easily defendable. I’ve traveled and spoken to people of various tribes in the south (even some Arabic speaking ones) as well as the Turks in the north and just about everything in between. They all patriotically associate themselves with Iran unlike what this video implies. That is in spite of people’s general dissatisfaction with the current government. Strait of Hurmuz is also a huge bargaining chip and deterrent for Iran’s potential enemies since it is totally controlled by Iran not to mention more than 200 hundred miles of additional southern shores outside of it. Iran might seek influence to its west (and east btw... as anyone would) but it has never tried to expand its borders (as this video suggests) judging by its history unless you go back 2000 years or more. Makes me wonder what this guy was smoking when he came up with all his conclusions!

During Parthian Empire and Sassanid Empire also, we don't know much about them, but we do know that they have actually reached Tanzania! Also during Pahlavi era, Iran's navy was the strongest in the middle east, had exclusive models built for it by USA and GB, and president Carter at one point said that Iran has certain Naval Destroyers that USA didn't have. Shah had a program to expand Iranian navy to the Indian Ocean, but the revolution happened and the program was terminated. Iran's Navy had battles with GB's navy, and won couple of them. Also it participated in the Oman's conflicts with the communists and helped Iman defeat them.

Why does everyone think that Iran's ethnic groups want to rise against Iran? Saddam thought the same thing when he attacked, but the reality is something else. Culturally, Iran has made all people consider themselves Iranians. In general, in Iran, Persian, Arab, Kurdish and Azeri and the rest only refer to the language and place of life. Everyone first considers themselves Iranian and then mentions the language and place of life. All previous empires are considered Iranian and they love it. It is enough to see Iran closely. In terms of nationality, it has a lot of integrity. Although it has its own problems, including the economy!

Persians never been a naval power? Iran has been first ever naval power of the world! (Literally the word "Navy" is PERSIAN!) Read Greek accounts of how scary their fleet were. Strait of Hormoz is not Iran's weakness, it's their strength. Half of Iran's coastal border in the south is Sea of Oman, no one can block Iran from there. Iran on the other hand can easily close off the strait and effectively cripple world's production.

That and the chemical weapons given to saddam to use on Iran may have been a factor in Iran not outright beating Iraq. Iraq later decided Kuwait would be easier and miscalculated on US support.

Iran's geographic limitation would be that its arid landscape means despite the age of its civilisation, it could never develop into the population size of China or India. By contrast, Iran has the perfect defensive geography which makes any invasion of the Persian heartland extremely difficult. Trump just backed out of escalating a conflict with Iran, because it will be much more than 10x worse than Iraq. In thousands of years of history, I can think of Greeks, Arabs and Mongols as the only civilisations ever to successfully conquer the Persian heartland.

Well it's estimated that if Mongols didn't invade Iran, the country would have had 10x more population in the current era. Mongols destroyed multiple big Iranian cities, like Neyshaboor, and burned so many of our cultural heritage. The country fell into a very miserable state after that and was plagued with famines for multiple centuries.
