what is iran doing

Iran has been a quasi-theocracy since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, which deposed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. Democratically elected President Hassan Rouhani is head of the republic, but divine leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei controls the military, the judiciary and the state broadcasting services. Shiite Islam is the state religion of Iran, with Sunni Muslims constituting a very small minority of the nation.Iran continues to face international criticism for not adhering to the requirements of United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding its nuclear facilities and its uranium enrichment program.

  1. I wonder what Quasi-Theocracy means. Did You know that Ali Khamenei has 6 kids 4 sons and 2 daughters. Did you know that Enghelābe Eslāmi refers to the over throw of the Pahlavi Dynasty. I wonder what the biggest population for religion is. I do not want to go to Iran.
