Highlights of Politic in This week

 In the Classical era, part of the present-day city of Tehran was occupied by a Median city that in the Avesta occurs as Rhaga.Tehran was first chosen as the capital by Agha Mohammad Khan of the Qajar dynasty in 1796, in order to remain within close reach of territories in the Caucasus, before being separated as a result of the Russo-Persian Wars, and to avoid the vying factions of the previously ruling Iranian dynasties. The capital has been moved several times throughout the history, and Tehran is the 32nd national capital.
