Factoid of the day

According to Wikipedia, there are large number of Iranian and Persian immigrants in the USA....

Iranian-Americans are of Shia Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Baha'i, Zoroastrian, Sunni Muslim and irreligious religious backgrounds.[29][30] "There are religious and ethnolinguistic differences among the Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, Zoroastrian, Christian, Turkish, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Kurdish, and Assyrian groups".[31] The majority of Iranian-Americans are ethnic Persian, with sizeable ethnic minorities being Iranian Azerbaijanis, Iranian Jews, Armenian-Iranians, Iranian Kurds, and others.[32]



over half a million Iranian Americans live in the Los Angeles area, and they have a link to "Tehrangeles"


Of course, the US census claims there are only 300 thousand in the USA.
