 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

On Tuesday, Iran unveiled its first hypersonic ballistic missile, Fattah, with a range of up to 1,400 kilometers and the ability to penetrate all anti-missile systems, according to Iranian state media.
