History

• Iran is home to one of the world's oldest
  continuous major civilizations. The Medes unified
  Iran into a kingdom in 625 BC. They were
  succeeded by three Iranian dynasties which
  governed Iran for more than 1000 years. After
  centuries of foreign occupation and short-lived
  native dynasties, Iran was once again reunified
  as an independent state in 1551 by the Safavid
  dynasty. Iran had been a monarchy ruled by a
  Shah, or emperor, almost without interruption
  from 1501 until the 1979 Iranian Revolution, when
  Iran officially became an Islamic republic on 1
  April 1979.

Government

• The political system of the Islamic Republic is
  based on the 1979 Constitution. The system
  comprises several intricately connected governing
  bodies. The Supreme Leader of Iran is responsible
  for delineation and supervision of the general
  policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
