Wikipedia's article on Zoroastrianism in Iran, community-edited. Reliable for the standard chronology of the Sasanian Empire (224 to 651 CE), which the article states revitalised Zoroastrianism and made it the state religion, and for the Arab conquest that ended Sasanian rule between 633 and 651 CE; not the right source for a precise date on when the earlier Achaemenid Empire itself adopted Zoroastrianism, which the article names only by inference from Darius the Great's own inscriptions and states plainly lacks firmer evidence.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3. Used for the Sasanian state-religion era and the 633 to 651 CE Arab conquest; the earlier, less firmly dated Achaemenid adoption is named as uncertain on the event's own entry rather than assigned an invented year. NotesUsed for Zoroastrianism's status as Persia's state religion and its loss of that status to the Arab conquest.
