| | Encyclopedia: Khuzestan |
 | | Historically Khuzestan is what historians refer to as ancient Elam, whose capital was in Susa, and in previous ages, Iranians referred to this province as Elam. | | | The people of Khuzestan are predominantly Shi'a, with small Sunni, Jewish, Christian, and Mandean minorities. | | | Arab separatists supported Saddam's forces in attacking both Persian and Arab Iranian soldiers and civilians, in what could be considered an attempt at an ethnic cleansing of the Iranian population, as the majority of the Arab Khuzestani population were loyal to Iran and fought alongside other Iranians against Saddam. |

| | The fact is that the Arabs of Khuzestan have never had respect from foreign Arabs or other Iranians. | | | The students movement recently denounced the riots in Khuzestan as separatist violence and took the regime's line that this was some kind of Western conspiracy. | | | But in the context of Khuzestan, the Arabs are the most downtrodden and the other ethnic groups are given pivileges and land - I do not blame them, I blame the government. |

| | Independent Access to Khuzestan Urged in Wake of Violence by Jim Lobe |
| | While regional specialists say ethnic Arabs in Khuzestan have long-standing reasons to be angry with the central government, the province's proximity to Iraq and rising tensions between Teheran and Washington over issues ranging from alleged Iranian influence in Iraq to its nuclear program make the government's charges at least superficially plausible. | | | Teheran blamed the unrest on "foreigners" and "hypocrites," an apparent reference to the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), a rebel group sustained by former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein until his ouster two years ago whose current relationship with the US occupying forces in Iraq is ambiguous. | | | Amid rising tension between Iran and the United States, a major U.S. human rights group said Tuesday that at least 50 people were killed during week-long protests in southwestern Khuzestan province last month and urged Iran to permit independent journalists and rights monitors to go to the strife-torn region across the border from Iraq. |

| | I hope that the victory of the national Arab parties and personalities in Khuzestan, and to a certain extent [the Kurdish candidate’s victory] in Kurdistan, has given cause for these friends to be more sensitive to the warnings of Taghi Rahmani and to the views of the Khuzestani Arab political activists and human rights advocates. | | | Finally, it must be said that various elections have an important role in both politicizing the Arabs of Khuzestan, and also increasing their civil and political awareness. | | | And thirdly, not only did Arabs win the majority of council seats in cities where they traditionally would have won, but also, in cities in which Arab representatives were either in the minority or were not represented at all. |

| | In this speech, I will show that the Arabs of Khuzestan are neither a collection of tribes nor an immigrant national minority but rather a native ethnic group, which has roots in the history and geography of this country and is part of that bigger society that is the Iranian peoples. | | | In a previous speech I gave in 1979 in Abadan's Petroleum University, I presented an analysis of the make-up of the population of the Arabs of Khuzestan as of a quarter of a century ago. | | | To the Shah regime the Arabs of Khuzestan were the weak link of the ethnic groups of Iran. |

| | The letter outlines a programme with a number of measures intended to diminish the Arab population and language in Khuzestan, by forcing Arabs to emigrate, and encouraging the immigrating of non-Arabs into the province. | | | Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani, an ethnic Arab, was in the region and admitted the plight of Arabs in Khuzestan, but laid the blame of underdevelopment on the destruction the Iran-Iraq War (1980-‘88) brought, when the province was invaded. | | | For those who remember the ethnic unrest in the province of Sistan va Baluchistan in 2000, when Tehran accused of Israel of “inciting civil unrest,” the externalization of responsibility is not alien to the Islamic Regime. |

| | The Arabs of Khuzestan have long resented Tehran for failing to alleviate chronic poverty and unemployment in the oil-rich province, and for neglecting postwar reconstruction of the bombed-out cities. | | | The Arab Shi'ites living on the plains of western Khuzestan share both their ethnicity and faith with the majority Arab Shi'ites across the strategic Shatt al-Arab waterway in Iraq. | | | A November 4 Eid protest of the continuing arrests of Arab activists reportedly ended with 2 protesters dead and 200 arrested, according to the British Ahwazi Friendship Society. |

| | Stranfer Commentary said Khuzestan province is an ideal place for the west to intervene because the province houses oil fields, as the vital veins of Iranian economy, and has an Arab population who are not satisfied with the central government in Tehran. | | | The evidences which revealed UK's involvement in bombings in Iraq proved that London has embarked on sabotage to justify its failure to restore security to the region under its occupation. | | | It is likely the next propaganda campaign of the west against Iran will focus on sowing discord among Iranians and the Arab minority living in Iranian oil rich province. |
