In 1979 there was a revolution in Iran. There was a majority of Muslims in Iran but the Shah had run the government as a secular governement and made many modern reform regarding dress and entertainment. Iran became a Muslim country with the adoption of the constitution of the Islamic repuglic. They still speak Farsi.
Most of the non-Muslims left Iran. Many of them are in the US and the UK.

In 1979, Iranian students and Muslim militias overthrew the Shah, a US-puppet leader and established an Islamic Republic hostile to US policies.
Indeed, Persians, the empire on the grounds (sort of) what is now Iran, practiced Zoroastrianism.
