I believe the answer is:

aspire

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'have high hopes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'settlement in persia' is the wordplay.
'persia' can be anagrammed to 'ASPIRE'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Have a strong desire to reach an objective" , "Persia (anag.)" , "Hope (to do something)" , "Yearn, dream (towards)" , "Hope (to achieve)" .)
