Second-level domains

Persian domains

Persian internationalized domain names are available for registration under .ایران.ir for public, in the Persian script. [3]

In 2010, ICANN approved the domain ایران. (the Persian spelling of "Iran") after it passed a review to ensure it was technically safe and correctly represented the country's name. It then became eligible to be added to the internet's official list of country domains. [4]
