Iran can hate many things, western ideology, capitalism, democracy, but I will not accept their disregard for history. Recently, Iran released a statement that they are offended by the movie: "300" for the depiction of the Persians. The first problem I have with this is the fact that the movie was rather accurate. Sure it was a tad misleading by showing that there were only 300 soldiers there and no support (in reality, they had cooks, messengers etc., many more than 300 people) but it is a damned certainty that the Persians were decadent, bestial and cruel. They were conquers compelled to dominate the world one way or another; how was the depiction in the movie skewed in any way?
