Cyrus: "I will respect the rites, customs and religions of my subjects [...]"
Boy, how things have changed.
Are you sure the video couldn't have been condensed to "The Persians had one of the most awesome civilizations ever known to mankind, then a bunch of uncultured, barbarian, Muslim Arabs came and ruined everything. The end."

Unless I'm a mistaken, hardly any religion is persecuted in Iran today. I can think of Baha'i which is spited as a sort of apostasy.
Christians, Zoroastrians and Jews are recognised communities with parliament representation. Sunnis are also not expelled systematically like during the good old days of Shah Ismail I.
Is there republican equality? Of course not. Iran is an ancient land where people live the way humans lived for millenia prior to the age of Modernism: Local customs are mainstream and privileged, foreign/minoritary customs are allowed with certain restrictions unless they oppose the mainstream culture (reason why the Baha'i are persecuted nowadays).

Simply amazing. Such close proximity to South Asia, with overflow into the NW regions. Nice.

I still find it amazing that Iran was basically ruled by Turkic dynasties since the 10th century
