From the ceremonial throne of the Achaemenid Empire at Persepolis, to a desert that holds the highest ground surface temperature ever recorded on Earth. From forests that have been breathing since the Miocene epoch, to a citadel that fell in twenty-six seconds and is being rebuilt still. From the staircase villages of the Kurdish highlands, to a garden whose water has been flowing by gravity alone since fifteen ninety.
Twenty locations. One civilization. Unbroken.

You are the land of ancient history, colorful cultures, and warm-hearted people.
Your mountains, forests, deserts, and seas make you truly unique.
Your poetry speaks of love, your music touches the heart, and your people welcome guests with kindness.
Iran, you are more than a country;
you are a home of memories, hope, art, and pride.
Your beauty shines in every city, every village, and every smiling face.
May your cultural richness and the kindness of your people always be known and appreciated around the world.
ایران زیبای من،
تو سرزمین تاریخ کهن، فرهنگ‌های رنگارنگ و مردمانی مهربان هستی.
کوه‌ها، جنگل‌ها، کویرها و دریاهایت تو را واقعاً بی‌همتا کرده‌اند.
شعرت از عشق می‌گوید، موسیقی‌ات به دل می‌نشیند و مردمت با مهربانی از مهمانان استقبال می‌کنند.
ایران، تو فقط یک کشور نیستی؛
تو خانه‌ای از خاطره‌ها، امید، هنر و افتخار هستی.
زیبایی تو در هر شهر، هر روستا و هر چهرهٔ خندان می‌درخشد.
باشد که غنای فرهنگی و مهربانی مردمت همیشه در سراسر جهان شناخته و قدر دانسته شود.
💚🤍❤️
Dasester not to damage this great civil -alion culture!
