No because of racism. Iranians (Persians) are Aryans. When you see something like that and Iran (which means land of Aryans) isn't touched it's because of racism and religious reasons nor will Iran leave Persia because of racism
Just like we you see white supremacists become friends with Iranians (Persians) but attack anyone around them its because of racism or respect. (Iran is literally the land of Aryans )

Hey get your facts Check Iran never been colonised never, but it has been robbed from their oil and gas for long long time. Never ever been colonised. British petroleum BP came to Iran steal as much as possible Oil and gas by corrupting kings and government. If you see BP is one of the biggest Oil company in world that is beacuse they steal Iranian Oil and gas.

I know this is controversial but why is colonialism seen as so bad? Most of these places were hot mess before the Europeans and they did put an effort on modernization and improving the countries. While I do admit that mistakes were made I think the colonies ultimately benefited from European influence

The Portuguese also occupied the island of Hormuz in southern Iran, but Iranian ships fired cannons at night at them and drove them out.
One of the reasons Iran was not conquered was that they were one of the Gunpowder Empires. China was not completely conquered for this reason.

Of course, Iran or rather, Persia, was colonized by the Muslims who conquered the nation, destroyed the native religion, Zoroastrianism, and then made Persia part of their growing empire. The European Age of Imperialism was really just the latest iteration of a very old game.

0: 03 China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran all are considered under partially European control or influence. If you labelled Iran and Saudi Arabia as not under direct rule under foreign power, why wouldn't you labelled China and Turkey as so?

I've also always wondered if the prestige of the name Persia had a part to play, as colonists may not be as inclined to see them as an inferior people due to their known millennia of contribution towards human civilisation.

The answer is simple: Iran is also an empire, and the only way to survive the age of empire is by being an empire oneself (like the United States, Afghanistan, Japan, even the Latin American countries to some extent.

Its still amazing to me how those europan Powers could Just straight up take so much land whilst being so outnumbered.
You would think at least some states would manage to resist europan Imperialism.

The UK was the reason for the starving and dying of 9 million people, almost half of the population of Iran at that time, and they didn't let people access food.

Iran staying independent by giving Britain its oil is sort of like Saddam Hussein avoiding capture by voluntarily coming out of his hidey-hole to negotiate

Countries need to leave each other alone. Stay out of others business. You cant just go and take someone elses oil just because they are weaker.

Actually there was that time from 1942 to 1946, but since it wasn't a permanent occupation and therefore not colonized.
