@elparsiano: Persia/Fars was only one region within the Iranian world. What’s modern is one state, historically called Persia in the West, adopting the name Iran and making “Iran” synonymous with its modern borders. Historically, Iran was never limited to those borders.

Parssian :

Afghanistan itself is 106 years old and it was east Persia or east Iran part of great Iran

zeenoorist :

They changed it in 1935 only, calling Persia Iran. Tajiks in Afghanistan were not happy about the renaming by using Iran as the new name, however, the Pashtuns tried to distance Tajiks from Iranians by changing the constitution and naming Farsi Dari. So many Tajiks don’t know and till today call their language Dari. Russians did that too by calling Farsi tajiki.

ART KOLLCSION :

You are right, it was called Persia and Afghanistan was part of it too.

Arashi :

But we also need to mention that aleady since the Sasanian Empire, The Sasanians called their realm/Empire "Erān or Erāshahr. Obviously, they didnt simply mean Iran, but all the Land (Iraq, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,...) within their empire. Furthermore, lets not forget that the main base of their empire was within Borders of The country we call Iran today as most Sasanian fire temples, Reliefs, castles, Bridgestone are today in Iran.

Soraya :

Ferdowsi was an eastern Persian, he was a “Tajik” from Khorasan, an “eastern Persian” not west. He was from Tus which was part of Khorasan.

FreedomFighter :

Iranshehr included Eastern Iran and Western Iran. Eran was a country that imcluded Tajikistan and Afghanistan

Amin :

he talks about persia, which stretches from current iran all the way to modern day Greece

August :

As a Kurd what you're saying is true 👍🏻

Fred :

13Rooz :

What nonsense! When they say Iran, as it relates to the old times, they mean Persia, that includes Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, etc.

Gilakmisogyn :

Sassanid incriptions debunks this easily

Parsa :

From the western parts of China to Turkey, Iran is beyond the current modern state.

user776103 :

It was still called Iran different dynasties don’t change that fact💀

Manochehr Ebade :

Iranian identity mentioned during the Sassanian empire first I guess.

GulAgha Tajik 👑 :

Modern states are new concepts brother, no doubt on that, but existing of the name of Iran or Iranshahr for this entire region goes back to Ardesher Babakan, more than 18 centuries old.

A :

Omidana.sanaz :

JAVID IRAN❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mahshid Irani :

≠ :

not correct. the frameworks of the modern national identity of Iran was founded by the Achaemenids and it was finalized and officially established by the Sassanians, the Sassanians called their empire "Eranshahr" and founded the national identity of Iran. that's why every dynasty after them looks up to them and consider themselves their heirs. for example Saffarids, Buyids, Ziyarids, Samanids, Seljuks and Safavids and many other dynasties. learn ur history

Deutsch beherrschen :

ypu are amazing tajik handsome man

sepid :

title of iran existed for 1800 and eranshaher it self was located in modern day iran and to other part like Afghanistan and Tajikistan and Kurdistan and others too those borders together make eranshahr ✌

m. ml :

Persia was an Empire like Britain and Iran was the main country in this Empire like England. I

Arta :

Iran as an concept goes back to Sassanid era as the first proto-state-nation
