That's not true. The Iranians (under the many names they have gone by for the past few thousand years) have been one of the most aggressive and expansionist powers in history.https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Military_history_of_Iran
I am speaking in the context of contemporary Iran, I am fully aware of Persian history.

Okay, mind providing a year for the start of "Modern Iran" versus whatever-you-call-Iran-in-the-1980's.

Post 1979 and the overthrow of the Shah. Or would it be more convenient for your myopic world view to hold them responsible for the Archamenid Persian Emipre and it's wrongs?
