Persia has historically always been a leader in academics, cultural exchange, arts, literature, engagement, civil rights, and philosophy, dating back to at least Zoroaster. It is only in recent decades that the regime has instead favored ignorance and isolation. The present state of Iran is the historical outlier, not vice-versa.
