Iran was always 'Iran'. Just these stupid Europeans called them Persia
>>581424
the endonym for Iran IS Iran. Stemming from the word Aryan (not the nazi bullshit Aryan, true Aryans as in a specific tribe of Proto-Indo Europeans). Persia comes from what the Greeks called them, land of the Persians (or Parsa as they would have been called then). You should learn history before posting on /his/, newfriend.
Ruskies miss me yet ?

Jordan = Jordan River
Another non-country which shouldn't exist, a tragic mistake of history.
Jordan = Nabatea

>Another non-country which shouldn't exist
Yeah sure buddy go tell jordan and all its inhabitants that and see how they feel about the matter
>>581433
Isn't Iran just a way of saying Arya I.e land of the Aryans or is that just a misconception
>>581561
Its not a way of saying Arya but that is where the name "Iran" evolved from.
>>581521
I think you're mistaking Jordan for Saudi Arabia (which should not exist and its land should be owned by the Hashemites).

Government: American puppets
People: bunch of "Palestinian" refugees

>>Syria = Assyria
>>582299
That's where the name comes from anyhow
>>581424
Iranic and Persian isn't the same thing nor is Iran homogeneous. Persians are historically the most prominent Iranics.
Iraq is only synonymous with "Mesopotamia". Babylonia is an ancient kingdoms and a region in the southern portion of Iraq. Assyria is primarily in Mesopotamia/Iraq, not in Syria.
Syria, wrongly derived from Assyria, is the historical name for the northern portion of the Levant which is sometimes used for the entire coast. The Levant is also a term that used to mean the eastern mediterranean and fertile crescent as a whole, not just the coast.

It's also important to note the Iraq and Syria are no longer primarily inhabited by their native populations, but by arabs
>>582932
Aren't they just the natives arabized?
>>582932
>This meme again
People were simply arabized or converted to Islam. There was no mass killing of the people that already lived there. I don't understand why everyone here thinks that conquest always ends in genocide.
