Persian domains

Persian internationalized domain names are available for registration under .ایران .ir for public, in the Persian script.[3]

In 2010, ICANN approved the domain ایران. (the Persian spelling of "Iran") after it passed a review to ensure it was technically safe and correctly represented the country's name. It then became eligible to be added to the internet's official list of country domains.[4]
