List Of Iranian Arabs
This is a list of Iranian Arab notable people, arranged by main profession and then birthdate. To avoid differences in nomenclature and identity, this list starts from the 16th century (early modern period), When the Safavids established a national state officially known as Persia or Iran and reasserted the Iranian identity of the region. The identity of Iranian Arab people and their affiliation are different, Arab identity itself is the objective or subjective state of perceiving oneself as an Arab and as relating to being Arab. Their identities, like those of other Iranian cultural and ethnic identities, are based on a common culture-land-historical experience or traditional lineage. Today, these commonalities are generally regional and in the historical-tribal context, as many of them assimilated with the largest ethnic group in Iran, the Persians, and they are not identified except by sub-symbols such as Arabic surnames, including: Bani- Amiri, Asadi, Khazaei, Tamimi, etc, ...
