The Bible is primarily a book about the people Israel. Any other peoples or nations that come in contact with the descendants of Abraham are noted. Persians are descendant from Elam, a son of Shem (Genesis 10:22). The Persian Empire is noted specifically in Ezra 4:9. A very famous King of Persia was Cyrus who was referred to as God's anointed in Isaiah 44:28-45.

Today, Iran is considered the peoples of the Persian Empire, however, a read of migrations will reveal how some of the Elamites as well as Medes - a closely associated tribe of peoples - have been located in southeastern Europe (Balkan peoples) and parts of western Russia.
