Abstract :
The people of present-day Iraqi Kurdistan, who are of Aryan descent and of Iranian origin, have been part of the history and culture of Iran since 8000 years ago, and the people have always maintained linguistic, racial, religious, political and social ties with the Iranian people and governments. And the Iranian governments have always considered this region as a part of their ancient history and culture and have been by their side in all the bitter and sweet events that happened to them. With the rise of Safavid power in the early tenth century AH (907 AH) to the present day (1398 Islamic Revolution of Iran) in Iran, this region played a key role in Iran's internal developments and foreign relations with neighboring Ottoman states, Iraq, Israel and Israel. It has played beyond the US and Britain, and although some of the previous Iranian governments have been politically separated from the central government of Iran due to their weakness, they have maintained their relations with Iran, so the Islamic Republic of Iran It has always been a supporter of these people and is sensitive to developments in the region, although it considers Iraqi Kurdistan a part of a unified Iraq and does not welcome the creation of an independent Kurdish state that would change the region's political geography.
