This paper aims at analyzing the semantics and pragmatics of Persian modal verbs based on Papafragou's (1998, 2000) relevance-theoretic model. Persian modals are defined in terms of logical relations and propositional domains. According to the findings of the research, two of the three modals, namely,  šodan  and  tavân  express the logical relation of compatibility with respect to different propositional domains: the three forms  mišavad, mišod  and  mišode  are unspecified with respect to their propositional domains and take them directly from the context, whereas  betavân  and  bešavad  accept the desirability domain.  Mitavân  also expresses compatibility in relation to the propositions in the factual domain. However,  bˇyad  is the only modal that encodes the logical relation of entailment and is unspecified with respect to the type of propositional domain it accepts.
