• There article needs to be reedited. There are many grammatical errors and grammatically awkward sentences. In some sections, such ‘History,’ it is obvious the article was written by a nonnative English speaker or translated.
• Fix stat in military section, Iran's Baji can call up reserves numbering 1 million, and has 11 million members.
• Consolidate Government section into one long section describing the federal government, deferring "main article" links to the main Politics in Iran article
• Add brief coverage of current student reform efforts
• Better explain democratic elections in early 1950s (put details in History article). Could someone add a paragraph to flesh this out? How were democratically held elections implemented? The Shah was reinstated, the article states, but does not explain how he had lost power...
• Fix the nonfactual reference to the Bush administration’s plans to use nuclear force. These plans are not only unconfirmed, but also alleged. Furthermore, the source article is post dated.
• Give more information about main cities besides Tehran.
• Add coverage about refugess e.g. from Iraq and Afghanistan, in Demographics.
• Add boundary disputes to 'Geography and climate' section, e.g. from CIA:

ex. Iran protests Afghanistan's limiting flow of dammed tributaries to the Helmand River in periods of drought; Iraq's lack of a maritime boundary with Iran prompts jurisdiction disputes beyond the mouth of the Shatt al Arab in the Persian Gulf; Iran and UAE dispute Tunb Islands and Abu Musa Island, which are occupied by Iran; Iran stands alone among littoral states in insisting upon a division of the Caspian Sea into five equal sectors
