Geographic changes

Iranian Parliament has enacted a new law to separate Parsian County from Hormozgan province and add to Fars province. Joining the province will bring prosperity to this region. Recently, there have been some protests against this new law in Hormozgan province, since it cut the direct access of Hormozgan to gas-rich fields and industrial regions in nearby Bushehr province.
