There were several Iranian empires and at least two were called "Persian" these were the Achamenid (550-330 BC) and the Sassanid (226-651 AD).
In the former, the boundaries shifted over the course of the two hundred years that the Achaemenid Kings were in control. Egypt revolted several times and some territories that were once under control, such as Khwarazm (modern Uzbekistan) gained their independance. Much of the Caucasus also gained its independance by the time of the late Achamenids, as did the Indian and European satrapies.
At its greatest extent, it spanned from northern Greece, including the modern states of Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Abkhazia (de-facto independent) Chechnya and Ossetia regions, Azarbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Egypt, parts of Lybia and Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, parts of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of Kyrghystan.
This was at the time of Dariush the Great but as mentioned above, some areas passed away from control.
In Sassanian times, the same happened and at its greatest extent, the Persian empire of the Sassanids included Iran, most of Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, the Balutchistan and Sind regions of Pakistan, Kuwait, Iraq, Armenia, Georgia (independent state but vassal to Persia), Chechnya/Ingushia, Daghestan region of Russia, Bahrein, Oman, Yemen, United Arab Emirates and eastern Turkey (Kurdistant region).
Temporary conquests included the rest of Turkey, Syria, Palestine/Israel/Jordan/Lebanon, Egypt, much of Arabia.
