Hi, I want to learn about the culture in Iran. 
 Were you aware that Iran happens to be one of the worst countries for freedom of the press 
 Wow! Why is that? 
 It ranks 164th out of 180 countries on the Press Freedom Index. This is because the Ministry of Culture and the Islamic Guidance in Iran's government is responsible for the cultural policy that includes activities for communications and information. 
 I see. What is the population? 
 Iran holds more than 80 million people. With anywhere between 250,000 to 370,000 Christians residing in Iran. 
 Wow, quite a large population. Any further details on culture I should know? 
 If you are a fan of polo then you might like to know that Iran is most likely the birthplace of the widely know and quite popular sport. 
 Never knew that. What can I know about the name? 
 Earliest known records contributed to the ancient Medes. This ancient form of freestyle wrestling is considered the national sport of Iran. 
 This is really cool. Did they keep up with the sport of wrestling? 
 It is registered on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. 
 Thank you for all your help! 
 No problem!
Iran
