ISAIAH 21:1-2 (KJV)
1 "The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease."

MEDIA AS IRAN:
ANCIENT REGION, IRAN
"Although Herodotus credits “Deioces son of Phraortes” (probably c. 715) with the creation of the Median kingdom and the founding of its capital city at Ecbatana (modern Hamadan), it was probably not before 625 BC that Cyaxares, grandson of Deioces, succeeded in uniting into a kingdom the many Iranian-speaking Median tribes. In 614 he captured Ashur, and in 612, in alliance with Nabopolassar of Babylon, his forces stormed Nineveh, putting an end to the Assyrian empire. The victors divided the Assyrian provinces among themselves, with the Median king taking over a large part of Iran, northern Assyria, and parts of Armenia."

OBSERVATIONS:
The calling up of Elam and Media in Isaiah 21:2 are essentially references to what would become modern-day Iran. Both Elam and Media are ancient-name references to the land which comprises modern-day Iran. Elsewhere in the Scriptures (e.g., Ezekiel chapter 38), modern-day Iran is referenced as Persia — another ancient-name reference to the land which is known today as Iran.
