Yes. Iraq was the capital province of Persia for more than a thousand years, and the Persian kings called Iraq "Del-e Iranshahr" ("The Heart of Iran").
The capital city of Ancient Persia is 10 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq's capital.
However, when people usually refer to Persia, they are referring to Iran, not to Iraq.
