Iran is a multi-ethnic nation with different ethnic groups that include Persians, Kurds, Lurs, Arabs, Baluchs, Turkmen, and Turkic tribes. The majority of the country (61%) is Persians which makes them the dominant ethnic group in Iran that controls the centers of power in Iran. This control is often exercised by marginalizing and discriminating other ethnic groups as documented by many important reports.
