To be fair, I bet there is a town named Iran in the US. There’s a Cuba, Bolivia, Lebanon, and others.
Okay, I just looked it up and no, but you can see where I coming from - lots of places named after foreign countries/cities. It probably is stupidity, but with included confusion.
Yeah, I see what you mean but the majority is still most likely stupidity (though there is probably at least one because of that)
I wonder if it asked them to point out “the country of Iran.”
Of course people also confuse cities and states. Like on the game shows, people will say things like Los Angeles when they mean California, and vice versa.
