Iranian-American

An Iranian-American is someone who has both Iranian and American heritage, typically meaning they or their ancestors are from Iran and have become U.S. citizens or residents. They often experience a blend of cultural traditions, language, and perspectives from both Iran and the United States. This duality influences their identity, community involvement, and personal experiences, especially given historical and political contexts. Iranian-Americans can be of diverse backgrounds and professions and contribute to various aspects of American society while maintaining connections to their Iranian roots.
