Encyclopedia: Khuzestan 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 native Elamite population, and thus laying the foundation for the future empires of Persia, Media, and Parthia. Khuzestan is the major oil-producing region of Iran, and as such is the wealthiest province in Iran, though it is claimed that this wealth does not benefit the average citizen. 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. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Khuzestan   (7872 words)

Ahwaz Studies Center 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. The Arab population of Khuzestan must be reduced to a third of the total population of Khuzestan within 10 years, with the rest of the population to be composed of Farsi-speaking residents and migrants. www.ahwazstudies.org /itemDetails.asp?languageID=1&pageID=9&itemType=1&itemID=276   (1061 words)

Independent Access to Khuzestan Urged in Wake of Violence by Jim Lobe 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. 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. 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. www.lewrockwell.com /ips/lobe209.html   (1048 words)

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs Khuzestan's inhabitants fought bravely during the war and proved their allegiance to Iran, but today, more than 15 years after the end of hostilities, many feel poorly rewarded, and parts of their province's infrastructure remain shattered. But as this month's riots by ethnic Arabs in the southern province of Khuzestan demonstrated, Iran's multicultural milieu could also be its Achilles' heel, an open door for foreign opportunists seeking to infiltrate this fledgling nuclear power. The province's Arabs are among Iran's least-integrated ethnic minorities and lack a national hero of the stature of Sattar Khan and Bagher Khan, who, as Iranian legends of Azeri extraction, played a key role in the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1906 and in incorporating their communities into the national body. www.atimes.com /atimes/Middle_East/GD29Ak01.html   (2869 words)

Asia Times Online :: Asian news hub providing the latest news and analysis from Asia Iran's accusations that Britain had a hand in the recent bombings and riots in Khuzestan province are less implausible than they seem at first, given Britain's long-held goal of severing the province from Iran and its nurturing of Khuzestani Arab separatists. One such is Maysan province, a small Shi'ite area in southeastern Iraq abutting Iran, where resistance, first to Saddam Hussein and then to foreign occupation, has been ongoing. Mahan Abedin and Kaveh Farrokh analyze British Arabism and its services to the UK's interests in the Middle East, and conclude that, though the Khuzestan troubles are likely a by-product of the invasion of Iraq, Britain - which gladly exploits the pressure point on Tehran - has a lot to answer for. www.atimes.com   (1303 words)
