@mcscx it's quite possible someone would choose to study that at Uni - but everyone attending a secondary school learns English; the younger generation there is probably *more* fluent in English than those inthe Netherlands or Germany. Basing "probably" on a single anecdotical bit of info is a bit risky :p Iran has many different ethnic groups, including Arabic-speaking people, but they're a minority. Other important groups are Armenians (Armenian), Kurds (Kurdish) and Azeri (Turkic) #
