The HDI given for Iran does not match the source, which should be 0.798, "high".
For many years until this edit three days ago data from CIA's country factbook has been used in this article's Infobox under religion section. Articles of other countries like Syria use CIA factbook as well. The new source used three days ago is an unreliable online survey from an unknown website called "GAMAAN" with dubious results. For example, it claims 7.7% of Iran population (87 million) are Zoroastrian which would be more than 6 million people, while the number of Zoroastrians across the world is no more than ~ 120,000! This source has zero reliability to be used on Wikipedia, It is not clear who with what expertise has conducted such a survey and how it can make such big claims for an entire country. Either official numbers have to be used mentioning that they are official, or if there are concerns with those numbers we can remove all the stats, It is not madatory to have percentages for religious breakdown when reliable data is not available. Just look at Lebanon e.g. Drako ( talk) 20:53, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Please remove the religion section in the infobox, its already mentioned in the demographics section. Saeed.1348 ( talk) 23:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Its good to have it for sure, but those numbers are completely wrong. Iran is a Shia majority country, its even mention on the demographics section. A recent edit broke all the information. Please change it to the previous statistics, which was the official one. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saeed.1348 ( talk • contribs) 00:17, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Those religion numbers on the infobox is baseless and wrong, Iran is 90% Shia, and its mentioned on the demographics section which is heavily sourced. Its even mentioned here. Please someone change it to the previous statics which was the official one, and was previously discussed. Watchers should be more careful so that anyone does not change important information easily. ArmanOh ( talk) 09:16, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Unfortunately, religion statistics are wrong and edited without any source and are very ambiguous Hkigssdwnb ( talk) 18:02, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
If you go back to September 2010, this image was there. Now, out of nowhere, we have an editor that had a eureka moment to delete it. I vote to keep it in another 25 years!

Hello. Some information needs to be updated and improved:
1- According to the 2024 statistics, Iran is now the world's 14th military power. The current information in the military section is sourced with the same website but its dated to 2023, so all you have to do is just update the info and put the 2024 data. https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.php
2- In the "medieval period" section, the image of Falak-ol-Aflak Castle has zero information, only the name of the castle is written. Add this text to the image (with link to the castle's name, Khorramabad city and Sasanian Empire): "Falak-ol-Aflak in Khorramabad, built in 240–270 AD during the Sasanian Empire."
3- At the beginning of the article, add a bold "(IRI)" next to the Islamic Republic of Iran. This is the country's definition, and multiple pages like China have this.
4- At the begninig of the "Government and politics" section, a very short explanation has been written, one which is already available in the human rights section. Please remove it.
5- At the end of "top", the word "people of Iran" is bold for no reason, please fix it.
Thank you! Saeed.1348 ( talk) 16:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Help! I cannot find a reference for this image. It is claimed as " Fatimid" (but this is extremely unlikely in my opinion, the style is more like 14th century Ilkhanid or Jalayarid) and currently appears in the Arabic miniature article. Can someone confirm that the language of the text in the miniature is Persian, rather than Arabic? I would personally bet for a version of the Great Mongol Shahnameh. Any thoughts? Any RS reference for this image? पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 14:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey folks! I just wanted to say that if you're about to make an edit, please improve unpon the already-existing information as much as possible, and do not create new sections or more texts unless you have to. This article is definitely one of the heaviest among all the country pages, and long-time contributors are doing their best to keep the article's size as low as possible. If an extremely important news related to Iran has happened, add it to the artcile, otherwise, please aviod adding more texts. Thank you! Farnaj57 ( talk) 23:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Please correct the correct usage of the word 'naval' under the military section. Naval = military. Navel = belly button.
