Usage notes

• In contemporary Iranian contexts, the word دولت (dowlat, “government”) refers to that section of the government presided by the رئیس‌جمهور‎ (ra'is-jomhur, “President”) and his cabinet. The word حکومت‎ (hokumat, “state”) refers to the entirety of the governmental apparatus under the supervision of the رهبر‎ (rahbar, “Supreme Leader”). (Note that this usage is quite the opposite of the respective etyma دَوْلة‎ (dawla) and حُكُومة‎ (ḥukūma) in contemporary Arabic.)
