Persians were the people that "occupied" these lands.
But in fact it should be "ruled" because some form sustained government existed... occupation has implicit connotations for being temporary, unwanted, or hostile.

占领大约当今伊朗领土所在及其临近地区
以“占领 ”开句,便于连贯下面的句子。
用“临”因其有“立即”的意思，以应“immediately （surrounding）”

: “雄踞”很好！但“几乎”似有不妥。“几乎”就是“差点儿”。而“roughly”意思是“大致”，可能差点儿，也可能多点儿，还可能这里差点儿那里多点儿。:-)
