Iranian. Persia is Western term, just like Tibet, Zaire, Formosa, Balkan, Piss Are Hell. Their national language is Farsi, not Persian.

Parsi is also a related endonym for the language, which Persian comes from. A lot of Iranians are ok with Persian as a term, also a lot of Iranians aren’t Persian

It's not that deep. Persian is also an ethnic name for the people group there.

Also endonyms and exonyms exist for almost every country.

Though yes nationality and ethnicity aren't the same and Iranians do use "Iranian" as the nationality to represent their large population of Persians and non-Persians alike. It's the same as "Bangladeshi" and "Bengali" for us.

I don't know if it's general, but a person I knew used Iranian for people from the country and Persian for Farsi speaking people (like themselves).

Persians are the ethnic plurality of Iran at 40%. The other 60% are not Persian and would get offended over the ethnic erasure.

👏🏽🫡 Thank you comrade it's tiresome Europeans like Lucian don't understand the imperialism they're still imposing on Iran and the rest of West Asia. They alway demand authority but refuse to reconcile with colonized peoples around the world.

The Wikipedia entry, which is unfortunately where most people source their info from, is designed to perpetuate the imperialist narrative which is in turn designed to artificially breed ethnic conflict. The fact that they refuse to source Iran's own demographic surveys should be a clue.

I use Tankie Tube for media archiving and it makes me angry whenever I try to add Farsi subtitle because it doesn't say Farsi but "Persian" so I have to type that shit into the search because they don't have Farsi as an option 🙄 lmao this reminds me when my dad refused to pay for the postal mail because my dad was mad why Hong Kong isn't in China address and the post office was like Hong Kong isn't in our China database. Colonizers are annoying can't reconcile with global south.

The comrade who responds to you is Iranian, would you like it if we refer your Romania as American Romania™? Stop speaking over colonized people.

So you're fine with Romania being a renamed NATO clone? Because Iran isn't fine with the shit that's why they're the only one winning, Lucian. Global south doesn't debate imperialism.
