The Iranian diaspora, also known as Iranian expats, are Iranian citizens or people of Iranian descent living outside Iran.[3]
In 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran published statistics, which showed that 4,037,258 Iranians are living abroad, an increase from previous years.[1][2] Many of them live in North America, Europe, the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Australia and the broader Middle East.[4][5] Many of them migrated to other countries after the Iranian Revolution in 1979.[6][7]
Iran has experienced waves of emigration since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The creation of a ministry of immigration has been proposed after reports indicated critical statistics, largely due to political instability.[8][9][10]
