	Province of Khuzestan - WikIran
		As such, Khuzestan is the most ancient Iranian province and is often referred to in Iran as the "birthplace of the nation," as this is the area where Aryan tribes first settled, assimilating the indigenous Elamite population, and thus laying the foundation for the future empires of Persia, Media, and Parthia.
		The name of the province, Khuzestan, literally means "Land of the Khuzi," and is in reference to the Khuz (or Khuzi) people, who were the original pre-Aryan ethnic group of the area and had formed one of the major population groups of the kingdom of Elam.
		Khuzestan is situated between the Zagros mountain range to the north and the Persian Gulf to the south.

	Independent Access to Khuzestan Urged in Wake of Violence by Jim Lobe
		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.
		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.
		Khuzestan's Arabs, who, because of the influx of Persians, now make up only about half of the province's population, suffer economic hardship, disproportionate levels of unemployment, and discrimination.

		More importantly, we won't have to worry about a nuclear attack on a city of ours every day until we leave Iran by some country that has secretly built a nuclear deterrent and is using it to make sure that no country grabs hold of their oil supply.
		Therefor we are the ideal country to grab Khuzestan from Iran and restore it to Iraq.
		With the USA in control of Khuzestan, the air dominated by the USAF, and the rebels in control of Tehran and other cities, my guess is that most Iranian military units would stay in their barracks or join the rebels.
