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.[1]

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

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.[2] 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 assimilationed with the largest ethnic group in Iran, the Persians, except by sub-symbols such as Arabic surnames, such as: Bani-Amiri, Asadi, Khazaei, Tamimi, etc, Apart from Hashimi nasabs like: Mousavi, Hosseini, Hassani, Alavi, Tabatabai, Sadr, Fatemi, etc. Today, prominent Arab communities in Iran can be clearly seen through the national, regional, or local identity. They come from various backgrounds in the scattered regions of present-day or historical Iran. Concentrated especially in the southwest of the country where the Arabs of Khuzestan live. In the south, prominent groups of them live on the shores and islands of the Persian Gulf in the provinces of Hormozgan, Fars and Bushehr. Khorasan Arabs also live in cities and villages in the east and northeast of the country. Other groups of Iranian Arabs worth mentioning inclueds, Immigrants to Iran from Arab countries and their descendants, especially from the Mashriq and the Arabian Peninsula, People of Arab tribes descent, Naturalized Arab individuals of Iran and other Arab sub-communities setteled in Iran; or Iranian diaspora in Arab countries who became Arabized.[3]

Among the Arab-affiliated groups and ethnicities in present-day Iran are: Arab-Persians, people of mixed Arab and Persian ethnic or cultural background; Arabic-speaking Afro-Iranians and those who may be called Iranian Afro-Arabs; The Assyrians and Mandaeans, both are natives of the Middle East and speak a branch of the Semitic languages that are closely related to Arabic, Like the Iranian Jews; Iranian diaspora in Arab countries and vice versa, Arab expatriates in Iran who would not be included in the list unless they became permanent residents of Iran or customary considered as Iranian; Iranian Arabists etc.

This list is not automatically filled with notables from Arab regions in Iran such as Khuzestan or Hormozgan, but the following people have either stated that they are Arabs or that credible sources indicate that. To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article and references showing the person is an Arab and Iranian.
