Remove "de facto" government form
Iran is, de facto as well as de jure, a "Unitary Khomeinist presidential Islamic republic." It is unitary and not federal; its state ideology is Khomeinism; it is a presidential republic; it is an Islamic republic.
Is it also a "Unitary theocratic-republican authoritarian presidential republic subject to a Supreme Leader"? Yes. But the supposed de facto definition and de jure definition are actually almost identical:
- "Unitary" and "presidential republic" are shared
- "Theocratic" corresponds to "Islamic"
- "Subject to a Supreme Leader" corresponds to "Khomeinist"
So the only reason we have both de facto and de jure definitions is to have that word "authoritarian" in there (note also the three citations in the lead following that word), presumably to discredit the legitimacy of the Iranian government. No other country, even ones significantly more authoritarian than Iran, have that word in their country template:
- North Korea is a "unitary one-party socialist republic"
- Turkmenistan is a "unitary presidential secular republic"
- Eritrea is a "unitary one-party presidential republic"
- Saudi Arabia is a "unitary Islamic absolute monarchy"
All four states above are significantly more authoritarian than Iran, yet none of them are called "authoritarian" in their country template.
I suggest that we remove the de facto definition entirely, because IMO it's a clear case of WP:POV.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 14:11, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Under different ethnicities in Iran, Gilaks should be added. They are an important ethnic group in Iran and have their own language. Soli. S. (talk) 20:40, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Not done for now: This article already contains references to Gilaks under language and ethnicity. Can you confirm where else edits need to be made? Darren-M talk 20:56, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
