“The Islamic Republic of Iran is the manifestation of true democracy in the region. The discourse of the Iranian nation is focused on respect for the rights of human beings and a quest for tranquility, peace, justice and development for all through monotheism.”
“Iran is the country of the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich. The lot of the majority of people in Iran has not moved forward even an inch during the last fifty years of the Pahlavi dynasty's reign, though the seven-year-old middle-class boy of fifty years ago, namely, the present Shah of Iran, has grown to be one of the richest men on earth.”
“Where are your valiant warriors and your priests? Where are your hunting parties and your feasts? Where is that warlike mien, and where are those? Great armies that destroyed our country's foes? ... Count Iran as a ruin, as the lair of lions and leopards! Look now and despair!”
“I do not like the fashion of your garments. You’ll say they are Persian; but let them be changed.”

Tehran (1941–1966) fue un caballo de carreras pura sangre británico y semental que compitió durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y fue más conocido por ganar el clásico St Leger en 1944. Tras mostrar poca habilidad como potranco de dos años, mejoró en la primavera siguiente para ganar el Culford Stakes en su debut como caballo de tres años. Terminó tercero en las 2000 Guineas y quedó segundo por poco en las Derby Stakes. Tras ganar las Whepstead Stakes, obtuvo su mayor victoria al derrotar a un fuerte grupo en un St Leger sustituto. Ganó sus primeras tres carreras en 1945 y terminó segundo en la Ascot Gold Cup. Más tarde se convirtió en un semental de cría exitoso, produciendo varios ganadores importantes, entre ellos Tulyar.
