shia Muslims live in many countries. but shia Muslims mainly live in Iran. also Iraq, Bahrain, Pakistan, Azerbaijan and more. other Muslim countries are mainly sunni with minor shia population. Qum in Iran is main central city of Shia Islam. also Najaf in Iraq was in past a main city of Iran and also today.
