Persia, today (4)

I believe the answer is:
iran
'persia today' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Iraq's neighbour" , "foreign land" , "Previously known as Persia" , "Country where the official language is Farsi" , "Country to east of Iraq" .)
