Yes, a significant Kurdish population resides in Iran, primarily in the northwest region known as Iranian Kurdistan. While Kurds in Iran are recognized as one of the country's ethnic minorities, they have historically sought greater autonomy and cultural rights. The relationship between the Iranian government and Kurdish communities has been complex, often marked by tension and occasional conflict over political and cultural issues.
