I didn't know Iranians had tribes. I thought they were highly urbanized people, way past the tribes and stuff.

Luri and Bakhtiari Persians number more than 3 or so million and are mainly nomad.

@al-Hasani was right. Iranians do have tribes.

Yes and no. Basically people can identify themselves as "Pars" or "Azeri/Turk" or "Turkmen" etc... That's as far as it goes and that's what they mean by "tribes" in this article. The article is also an attempt to show that Iran is united and all the other bs that the regime cares about.

In Arab countries, as well as AFG and Pakistan, people actually have tribes within individual ethnic divisions. That's something completely foreign in Iran. When people say tribes they're talking about their own ethnic identity not in the arab/pakistani/Afghan sense of the word.
