Irani, or Persian.
Not trying to pick nits...just curious if there is a difference?
I doubt any of this will happen. No one wants to give up oil rights to anyone.
Irani or iranian is a broader umbrella term for nationality. Persian, balouchi, azari, gilaki, etc.. are various ethnic grps in iran, most of whom more or less share same linguistic, racial & cultural (iranic aka aryan) roots.
