Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced today its approval of non-Latin string evaluation of Iran. This approval will allow the availability of Iran’s top-level domain in its own native language, Persian, also known as Farsi (that is, the domain name .IRAN, in non-Latin characters).
According to ICANN, there are currently 33 requests for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) country code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) representing 22 languages out of which 18 countries/territories have so far been approved. Other countries that have also successfully passed this string evaluation by ICANN include: India, Republic of Korea, Syrian Arab Republic and Singapore.

“Farsi” is not the correct name for the language. Please consider using “Persian” in the future.
Post updated. Thank you.
