The Medes and the Persians?

Daniel 5:25-28
25 “Now this is the inscription that was written out: ‘MENĒ, MENĒ, TEKĒL, UPHARSIN.’ 26 This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENĒ’—God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it. 27 ‘TEKĒL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. 28 ‘PERĒS’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

The Medes: An Iranian people who lived in the area of "Media."
The Persians: Iranian ethnic group.

Does this seem almost apropo to our modern times?
