Are Iranians even Persians?

[PakistaniandProud]

I heard that they were 'Parthians' and then converted to the people that the Parthians were occupying and controlling - THE PERSIANS!

Is this true?

Above is the Parthian empire flag.

You have jumped into a hugely complicated situation. First, is it your point that the Parthians were not part of the greater Iranian grouping? Second, do you see a difference between Iranian and Persian? If you could explain your doubts a little more, it would help in responding.

A fascinating part of history, by the way.

Not even that

According to the last census close to 7/10 Iranians had persian as their first language.
