Who ever posted this answer above is totally and completely wrong.
Today's countries that include the ancient land of Persia is not only Iran in fact the Persian empire ruled Central Asia including: Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, parts of Pakistan, India and Iraq, Northern Saudi Arabia-Lebanon-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Palestine. They even ruled African parts such as he whole of ancient Egypt and even Libya. Persia was also some of the countries in Europe such as Turkey-Bulgaria-Albania. Those are the countries which was the country of Ancient Persia.
The first answer was not totally wrong. The second answer is true of the Persian Empire, but the homeland, the territory that was originally Persia, is mostly correspondent with modern Iran
The Islamic Republic of Iran
Until 1935 Iran was called Persia.
Persia was one of many countries where the exonym (the name other people call a country) and the endonym (the name the citizens of that country call it) were different. This came about mainly due to the writings of Greek historians who called Iran "Persis", meaning land of the Persians and this has continued long after the fall of Ancient Greece. A current example would be Germany. Germans have an endonym of Deutschland, but English speakers call it Germany, French speakers call it Allemagne, Polish speakers called it Niemcy, etc. The Persian endonym was Iran and in 1935, Shah Reza Pahlavi of Iran asked that all countries around the world use the term "Iran" in all future correspondence with the state (as opposed to the historic exonym Persia). It has stuck.
