It is famous for being one of the earliest centers of human settlement and one of the greatest Near-Eastern civilizations. The Iranian language is part of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian language group. Persia was a center of the Zoroastrian religion, from which Judaism and Christianity borrowed much (ideas such as heaven and hell).
Persia had huge wars with the Roman Empire. Persia was one of the very important stops on the silk road where goods were traded between the European, Persian, Indian and Chinese civilizations. Between the 9th and 13th centuries Persia was one of the most civilized countries in the world. Algebra and important advances in astronomy and other sciences were discovered there. Even under the Mongols important advances were made in math and science (number theory, calculating machines) and Persia was known for fine crafts and had a culture with a world-wide distribution through about the 16th Century.
In the 19th Century Persia was dominated by the Russians or British in succession, and in the 20th Century mostly by the US.
In the 21st Century Iran has been a proposed victim of the American dictator and terrorist George W Bush, who covets it's oil reserves, and is most famous for standing up to to the American Empire over possession of nuclear technology.
While Islam is by no means a pacifistic religion, the case could be made that the Christian god has killed at least as many people.
