Iran (World of Peace)

Iran is a country situated in Asia that is currently backed by the United States

Difference from Our World

 * Iran never engaged in any armed conflict against Afghanistan or the Taliban in our world (they almost did though, after some Iranian diplomats were killed), but due to the growing fear of the in-universe Emirate, Iran has more of a need to defend its border with the country
 * Because of this universe's America having less of a focus on oil, and with the looming evil presence of Iraq and Afghanistan nearby, this universe's Iran has much closer relation with America than they do in our world, mostly for combating the threats of the previously-mentioned countries
