One story is that Prime Minister Haman accused some people not paying taxes, but Mordecai is mentioned since he did not bow to him, Haman was angered and threatened him and his people with death which was only a threat.

Iran, pronounced Eeran NOT Eye-ran...".> Hint: Italy: Eetaly not Eye-taly. Iran has been in the region properly termed 'West Asia' -- not the 'Middle East' for thousand of years. (more...)
