      As a Brazilian, I wasn’t aware of how many cities and towns named “Iran” we had, especially throughout the state of Amazonas (guess what is located in Amazonas that USA wants to snatch so badly?). Gonna visit Iran someday, but it seems like a long travel. At least the most geographically close Iran from where I live would be “Irã, Paraná”. 😅

      Correct

      and can’t be for real

      Likely incorrect. You’d be shocked at how profoundly stupid and/or misinformed some people are in a country that routinely robs its public education system to pay churches and private corporations…

      Now that‘s an explanation! They never heard of Iran as a country and thought it was a random-ass city. And since they didn’t know where it was, they guessed the center of the US!

        Iraan, TX is a real place, though it’s pronounced “Ira-Ann.”

        Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.

    The points chosen so far off from Iran just prove the point in a perverse way. The people are stupid, uneducated, or just willfully being assholes by choosing the wrong places. Just go ahead and lump them together. One set is damaging because of ignorance, the rest due to malice. Pretty much sums up trump and his followers.
