When did Iran become Iran?

Persia is the name of a region in south central Iran (from Greek 'Persis', from Persian 'Pars'). The province of Pars or Fars, which has been called that for ca. 25 centuries. Iran has always been called Iran by its people. However, Europe used to know Iran as Persia or the Persian Empire. The Greeks called Iran after that one province because: 1. it was ancient times and they didn't know better, 2. the province of Pars was where the tribe of Parsa originated. Achaemenid Dynasty was founded by members of Parsa (the Persians) led by Cyrus and it ruled modern-day Iran's expanse as well as Asia Minor (including Ionia, where most ancient Greek writers came from), most of Central Asia, a large part of North Africa, northern Arabia. In 1935, Reza Pahlavi (founder of Pahlavi Dynasty that ruled Iran until 1979) requested that all foreign parties call Iran in their official documents by the same name its people have always called it (rather than Persia, as was customary in European documents before that).
