Persian 51%, Azeri 24%, Gilaki and Mazandarani 8%, Kurd 7%, Arab 3%, Lur 2%, Baloch 2%, Turkmen 2%, other 1%.

But the basic point is that the majority of Arab dominated Middle Eastern countries are growing distrustful of Iran and how it has be maneuvering. It's interesting that the politics of power appears to be superceding that of the Muslim v. Jewish absolute in this particular case.

Statistics are good and very interesting. In this case, and in isolation, they don't interest me.

As I said, most of the 'top officials' and those who count in the scheme of things in Iran are not of Persian origins. Those who are, in fact, are viewed by most Persians and Iranians, in general, as traitors to Iran.

Yes, I find that good and, in some ways, very hopeful too. This is a Islam within Islam religious war too. See my previous post#17.
