Throughout the country?s long history, devastating invasions and occupations by the Arabs, Turks, Mongols, British, Russians, and others, have taken place. Revolutions and wars have shattered the country many a time. Nevertheless, Iran has been able to hold its identity as a distinct political and cultural identity.
