In 1935, however, the <b>Iranian</b> government requested that all countries with which it had diplomatic relations call the country by its <b>Persian</b> name, <b>Iran</b>.&quot;</p><p>But given that the Iranians always considered themselves Iran, apparently, the use of both terms might not point to a specific date-after-which. The box that has the country name in it strikes me as possibly a bit later than the other two, although I have no firm basis for saying so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
