The religion did originate from Iran, but Shi'a Islam is the current standard religion.

Yes it used to be completely Zoroastrianism but there are few groups in Iran who are Zoroastrians now...

Shina Islam is the current national religion, Zoroastrianism was destroyed for the most part when the Arabs conquered Persia, but it is recovering somewhat, but still Islam is the religion of 95% of the population, the name of the country is ISLAMIC republic of Iran
