Anyone have any information on when Persia became Iran? How was this formalized and globally recognized? Mersi.

I do not believe that it was ever a formal or sentinel moment when it was passed into law. Rather in 1935 the Shah of Iran, Reza Shah Pahlavi, asked foreign diplomats to begin using the terms; which they did and as result, he unilaterally managed to have the world refer to our land as Iran instead of Persia.
