The Arab people of Iran have lived for thousands of years in South Western Iran. They form 6-8% of Iran’s population and are deeply rooted in this ancient land. Under the Mosha’sha dynasty, Arabs acquired an independent entity, called Arabistan, in 1424, which was bound by Kermanshah and Sahne from the north, Ehsa’ and Qatif from the south, Kohgiluye mountains from the east, and Koot, and Emarah from the west. The king EsmailSafavi conquered Arabistan and ended 80 years of independent governance from the capital Howaiza, but he retained their full autonomy. Afterwards, the region was intermittently independent or fully autonomous.
