	Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Iranian climate is mostly arid or semiarid, though subtropical along the Caspian coast.
		Most Iranians are Muslims; 89% belong to the Shia branch of Islam, the official state religion, and about 10% belong to the Sunni branch, which predominates in most Muslim countries.
		In fact, Iranians believe their culture to be the one and only reason why their civilization has continuously survived thousands of years of plethoric calamities.
