Iranian diaspora

The Iranian diaspora refers to Iranians living outside Iran, often due to political, economic, or social reasons. Large communities are found in countries like the United States, Canada, and Europe. These expatriates maintain cultural, social, and sometimes political ties to Iran, while also adapting to their new countries. The diaspora influences global perceptions of Iran and contributes through businesses, arts, and activism. Their presence reflects Iran’s complex history, including periods of turmoil, which have prompted waves of migration seeking stability and opportunity outside the homeland.
