Abstrakt Intercultural communication has always been a chance to get acquainted with other societies. Due to the vast improvements of communicational technologies like Internet and social media, this chance is now more than any time in history available, which also provides certain people and certain organizations with the possibility to abuse this power for their own goals and benefits. In the age of information and in a world, where its people are more and more connected like the residents of a small village, the need to inform people about these goals is felt more than ever. This situation and its importance was a reason for a study on the history of intercultural communications between Iran and other countries, focusing on the communications between Iran and Germany.
