Where are the Persians?

This nation is a majority in Iran and a minority in several other countries, such as the United States, Kuwait, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and several countries in the Middle East.
History of the Persian Nation
Historically, ethnic Persians are descendants of the Aryans who emigrated from Central Asia to Iran in the second millennium BC (BC).
As development progressed, the Aryan nation split into two, namely the Persian nation and the Media nation. They assimilated into local tribes such as the Elamites.
From this assimilation emerged Persian and other Iranian languages. Persian is one of the oldest languages in the world that still exists to this day.
This language belongs to the Indo-European language family and is the official language in Iran. The first written historical source regarding the Persians is from the Assyrian Inscriptions (834 BC).
In the inscription it is written about the Parsua (Persian) and Muddai (Median) people. At that time, Assyrians used the term 'Parsua' to refer to the tribes in Iran.
Later, the Greeks adapted this term to refer to civilizations from Iran.
When the Persians embraced Islam, the Persian region was ruled by several kingdoms in the form of an empire.
The Iranian Empire was a series of monarchies-dynasties centered in Persia/Iran from the Achaemenid Empire in the sixth century BC to the Qajar Dynasty in the 20th century AD.
These empires included the Persian empire, such as Achaemenid, Parthian, Sassanian, Buwaihidah and Samania.
The empires that once ruled Persia included the Seleucids, Umayyads, Abbasids, Seljuk Turks, Afshariyahs and Qajars. (*)
