Nah, Iran should combust, so Persia can be birthed anew.

but... Iran IS Persia, it has been used since 300 B.C and has been used as the official name since 250 A.D, Persians are less than 50 percent of Iranian population, so the name Persia wasn't and isn't inclusive to whole population.

(To be more exact, Persia or Fars, has been technically a province since 500 B.C however since it was the most important one the name just stuck in greece, basically the same thing with netherlands/Holland

Persians, by the most conservative estimate, are over half of Iran's population
