people including those found in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and other neighboring countries.(BUT IRAN HAS THE MOST PERSIAN PEOPLE)

Persians are an Indo-European people who developed a civilization in what is now Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The Persian Empire is known for a vast expansion, characterized by a tolerant attitude towards minorities and gifts of autonomy to local regions, governed by an absolutist king. Their historic religion is Zoroastrianism, but after the conquest of Persia by the Islamic Caliphate, the majority religion of the Persians (as well as the ethnic minorities of Iran) has become Shiite Islam.

Indo-European. Persian's are from Iran. The definition of Iran is 'land of Aryans' and no it doesn't mean having white skin, light hair and eyes like Hitler's definition. Aryan actually means strong and noble.

Persians still are Persians (Iranians), many years ago some Arabs attacked Iran and changed their religion to Islam. Now days Iranian people are two kinds: Pure Persians, Arab-Persians. Currently Power of Iran is in Arab-Persians hand.
