what was the ancient name for modern-day iraq?
mesopotamia
throughout history, iran always had strong cultural ties with the region of present–day iraq. mesopotamia is considered as the cradle of civilization and the place where the first empires in history were established. these empires, namely the sumerian, akkadian, babylonian, and assyrian, dominated the ancient middle east for millennia, which explains the great influence of the mesopotamia on the iranian culture and history, and it is also the reason why the later iranian and greek dynasties chose mesopotamia to be the political centre of their rule. for a period of around 500 years, what is now iraq formed the core of iran, with the iranian parthian and sasanian empire having their capital in what is modern-day iraq for the same centuries long time span.
