Actually, cousins marrying is not considered incest throughout the U.S. In fact, 19 states and the District of Columbia allow cousins to marry.
As to whether brothers and sisters having intercourse is incest -- it is in every society in the world, even the most primitive.

Research shows that close genetic compositions (such as brother and sister, parent and child, and first cousins) can result in mental and physical defects in children. Therefore, the laws in America prohibit these kind of unions. Culture tends to follow law in most cases, so people feel (I am enculturated to believe this also) that it is wrong.
I'm not sure you are really Iranian. I don't believe you are serious about this; especially the brother and sister information. I know that moslem girls in many middle eastern countries must prove virginity; but I don't believe you about the incestuous relationships you say are running rampant.

You are not supost to have sex with a member of your family, thats considered incest and its digusting. Iran does not condone marrying inside the family, they arange marriages outside the family and most of the time its done before a girl is 8 years old.
Anal sex is still sex and its still wrong to do that if your not married in Iran and alot of other countries as well.
I'm not sure where you got your facts but there very wrong.
Incest is wrong because it causes deformitys to your child once its born.

How close the relation has to be to count as incest is dependent on culture.

because if you have children with someone you are closely related to, they are almost guaranteed to suffer from gross genetic disorders (hemophilia, physical deformations, brain disorders, etc).
